The Top 3 Scoring Defenses (Kicker included) in the PBR League are:
- FELONS 493.5
- ROYALE W/CHEESE 451
- PRETTY BOYS 433.5
The Felons are the top scoring defense, and the most balanced team in scoring. The Felons score 49.7% of their points on Offense, and 50.28% on Defense. Balance is great, but the Felons aren't getting the same consistency on Offense (they rank 9th) as they have on defense. Led by Jason Pierre-Paul, Mason Crosby, and George Wilson, the Felons have a consistent attack on Defense. The DL has scored, 129 pts. The LBs have scored 123, and the DBs 154.5. Throw in the top scoring kicker in the league (Crosby) and you can see why they rank number 1.
The Pretty Boys score the highest percentage of their points on Defense at 52.96%. The league average is 43.5%. The Pretty Boys have been led by stellar DL play behind Jared Allen and Charles Johnson. The Royale W/Cheese have one of the top scoring LB groups, and also have been getting great play from their Defensive Backs.
The Lowest Scoring Defenses are:
- 10. The Roommates 339
- 11. Riggins 319.5
- 12. Manti 316.5
The biggest surprise at the bottom is The Roomates. The team drafted defense to start rebuilding their team, but have been hit hard by the injury bug. Defensive Line and Kicker are two areas where the Roommates have struggled to get points. Riggins has been getting solid scoring from their DBs, but the DL has been a big disappointment. Both Riggins and the Manti can also attribute being in the cellar to the fact that they have played several defensive players who have had Bye Weeks. Riggins has "0 Points Scored" at a position 9 times this season on defense, while the Manti have scored nothing 12 times. Ouch.
The Roommates also score the least percentage of their points on Defense at 36.3%. With a high flying offense (they rank 2nd), it hasn't been an issue as of yet. It is, however, something they will look to shore up as they head towards the playoffs. The Fluff get the second lowest percentage at 36.88%. However, the Fluff rank 5th in points on defense...the low percentage comes from their offense being such a juggernaut.
In terms of point per week, the Felons score 12.6 points more per game on Defense than the average PBR team. If we look at the difference between the top and bottom scoring teams, the Felons average 22.13 more points per game than the Manti. This is not as large of a margin as the Fluff have created on the Offensive side of the ball...but it does help the Felons make up for a struggling and mercurial offense.
