278 minutes last year to force first turnover.
We are 60 minutes in and nada.
Does the streak go to 120 or does Dick and the boys get one Thursday night?
Scary how bad they are at forcing turnovers.
Really no point in guessing
I did see a couple INT's dropped
Dont you find the point that we have to guess whether there will be a TO alarming? I want to expect my D to force turnovers....but instead that's not the case at all.

The Lebeau shit is so fucking tiresome at this point.
Blah, blah, old, fucking blah.
Hands on three balls that's on the players.
It's nearly as old as the game itself...stop the run and the "turnovers" or the fucking "splash" plays, whatever, come to you.

Yep, players need to intercept the ball. I get it.
I want to see some. Not unreasonable right?

Scheme is for another day;)
But, I agree that yesterday was far more about players not making plays, players failing in their assignments and players being unable to make plays due to speed, brains or power

Do we consider failure to catch the football by Ike a missed opportunity by our defense since catching the football is not something he does?
The one by shazier was not a drop. He did not get his hands on that ball. He was about 2 inches away from getting a grip on it. Looked to me like he was really zeroed in on the ball, and probably would have made the catch with about 2-3 more inches.

Rookies being a step or an inch slow, I can be a little forgiving on. Ike, Troy, Mitchell, Timmons looking alternately like rookies and old men all game back there, not so much. Thomas? Not really sure what they saw to make them sign him in the first place.
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...
