This has been a problem for this team dating back to Rob Ryan. Not sure how many remember Garrett's reason for firing Ryan during his presser but he specifically stated it was NOT coz he was a bad coach. It was coz we were switching from 3-4 to Tampa 2 to get more turnovers. Here we are what, 5-6 years later rank 32nd ( dead last ). As of today, we have zero interceptions and only three fumbles.

But what's crazy is although we're ranked dead last in turnovers, we are 21st in the league in turnover/ratio (-2). Why? Coz one good thing about Dak even his worst critics have to appreciate, his ball security ( no interceptions through first four games).

Bottom line....if we wanna to get anywhere near the playoff, it's probably going take a min top 15-10 ranking.

BTW......As of today, notice Chiefs AND Jags are also ranked near the bottom.

We definitely suck at forcing INT’s.

And Earl Thomas would beg to differ on Dak’s pick count.
 
Everyone on this board who has a mouthful of Kris Richard as we speak should be very concerned.
 
Byron and Chido each gets a pick. One comes from a late game drive.
DLaw or Taco, or Gregory gets a sack fumble. But Watson gets it back but for a key loss of yards.

Irving causes a fumble also and Jaylon recovers, but doesn't quite get the TD. I would like to predict a Td, but that may be a bit over the top for now. :laugh:
 
You all do realize that fumbles are also a turnover, so do not put it all on the defensive backfield. The defense as a whole is not getting turnovers. Blaming Kris is a cop out.
Getting a turnover would be nice; it keeps the other team from scoring, but a turnover is better when it is converted to points. If the defense does not run the interception or fumble back, they are only adding stats.

have 3 fumbles and 0 spelled ZERO Interceptions. IDK what you are talking about here.
 
Let's thank goodness we have a QB that takes care of the football or this team would be straight dumpster. Marinelli has to go.

What I am saying is, if we had three interceptions to go along with our three fumbles, would you and others be happy?

Linebackers get interceptions, and so do lineman. The defense as a whole is not getting turnovers.

Rob Ryan was fired because he didn't always show ul for work, was often late, let his assistant (Eberflus) do his work and when he was there he argued with the other coaches.
