The Ten Worst Rush Defenses

by faketeams on Oct 11, 2008 9:00 AM EDT in Football

An awful Indianapolis Colts rush defense against an awful Baltimore Ravens offense. Both Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain look like solid starts. The biggest worry is the Colts getting two TDs ahead which could force the Ravens to try and throw. QB Joe Flacco against the Colts pass defense is not necessarily the match-up the Ravens want to try and escape with a road victory.

Two of the four worst RYA teams face-off in Seattle as the Seahawks host the Green Bay Packers. With Qb Aaron Rodgers nursing a sore throwing shoulder, one can easily imagine the Pack trying to pound the ball. But will RB Ryan Grant be able to take advantage? He ran for 83 yards against a better Atlanta Falcons club so I'll say yes as strongly as anyone can say it for Ryan Grant.

The Ten Worst Rush Defenses:

Rank	Team	RYA	Vs
32	Indianapolis	196	BAL
31	Green Bay	190.3	@SEA
30	St. Louis	178	@WAS
29	Kansas City	161.3	BYE
28	Seattle	158	GB
27	Cincinnati	149.7	@NYJ
26	Denver	146.7	JAX
25	New England	146.5	@SD
24	Detroit	139.5	@MIN
23	Atlanta	131.7	CHI

I wouldn't worry about McGahee, McClain

I’d be shocked if the Colts jumped out to a double-digit lead over Baltimore this weekend, but I guess anything’s possible. The Ravens’ defense has given up just three TDs all season. I agree, both McGahee (yardage) and McClain (TDs) are great starts this week.
