...what do you consider is a good defense based on these things below:
Personally, I could care less about the schemes they run, total yards allowed, first downs allowed or even a low turnover rate. In today's world of high powered fast-break offenses, I think what is two most important stats are the big play scores and the FG to TD ratio. Those together show how good a defense is in making an offense work to score and how tight they get in the red zone. If a Doc's defense is consistently ranked high in those two things, the I think it's safe to say he's a good DC. Especially, in the context of having to face high powered offenses each week.
