Turnovers are player problems not coaching problems

[Pompey-Cowboy]

We lost this game due to individual errors and committing key penalties

Individual errors stem from lack of discipline

Committing too many penalties, especially on key plays, stems from a lack of discipline

Discipline comes from the coaching.

when Turnovers happen , good coaching knows how to deal with it and come out victorious .

so now, brady has no interceptions in his winning games ?

not one interception? ever?

please , you garrett homers fool yourselves every week .

Hard to get turnovers when your number 2 CB is playing 15 yards off of Jake Kumeroy or whwatever that guys name was!

I mean seriously Chido looks like a little 5 year old girl at times

From the defensive point of view. There were a handful of plays today when one of our defenders chased down the ball carrier from behind and I’m thinking go for the ball, swipe at it, try to punch it out and they just go for the tackle. Specifically I can remember Armstrong, LVE had opportunities and it’s like they didn’t even try. That is how the NO defender caused Wittens fumble last week. Our guys just don’t have that instinct.

good point and that is something that can be coached ,and you can practice doing it each week.

Any coach or pro wr will tell you thats a catchable ball that needs to be caught.

I've never seen more catchable balls than Cooper has dropped this year.

If the ball has to be chest high and at mantis reach/grab level than what is the point of paying WR's big $ to make routine plays?

The throw that WB points to is a direct reflection of his lack of understanding of what a routine catch at the NFL level is.

 

[Whirlwin]

Jerry said it well last week “when we plan for a game we don’t plan to turn it over at midfield twice”

If you can’t trust your all pro WR to make an easy catch, your 4th year QB to see the field and your NFL kicker to focus on FGs under 40 yards, then I don’t know what game plan you come up with.

Now defensively I think we’ve all been in agreement for years that the team is in desperate need of front line DTs. Saints showed when you can control the game with your front 4, the whole game is different. If not, then scheme better.

offensively players just have to pick it up. The plays are being called well and there’s tons of yards available but player inflicted problems are killing the team

Wrong. Turnovers are definitely on the couch that's lack of discipline. Make no mistake about it

I love a turnover on the couch, so much nicer than a cake on a chair.

When you put your players in wrong situations. It creates Havoc that creates turnovers

I'm not going to even explain it to you. The spell check thing. Show some class

 

[the playmaker]

Well dak is a turnover machine. He went from a 35 million dollar QB to a 30 million guy in 2 games.

30?????
20+.....no more

 

[baltcowboy]

Lol @ easy catch


I can tell most of you havent played a sport in your life. That wasnt an easy catch

I will grant you a better throw would have been a touchdown. Alexander was so far behind Cooper it actually helped him get the interception. I think we might be becoming the Falcons.

No explanation required my friend, if you read my post earlier in this thread, I have already stated that I blame the indiscipline that stems from the coaching.

 

[FLCowboyFan]

When you keep seeing the same results with different players over the years it points to coaching. How do we mysteriously find "bad players"? Players play the way they are coached. You see teams take on the personality of their coach around the league. Hard nose coaches have hard nose teams.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Lol, op working overtime to absolve Garrett of any blame.

First there's no use hiring a guy like Lincoln Riley because we already have a young oc (wat?), now sloppy play with several turnovers has nothing to do with the coach.

That poor Jason is just a victim of circumstance.

I'll never understand the dedication to mediocrity that some fans have.

And I’ll never understand the dedication to blame all the problems on the $5 million coaches and absolve the $20 million players. Defensively the scheme could be much better to forcing confusion that would help lead to INTs.

But what is Garrett or any coach supposed to do about Amari not catching the ball or Zeke/Witten fumbling? Do you think they don’t do turnover drills? It’s what every position drill is based on at every level of football. Securing the ball while running or catching.

 

[JayFord]

You can eliminate turnovers as a coach by simply making the team run 10 full blown windsprints in full pads per turnover committed

and make the linemen push the sled 50 yards 10 times per turnover committed

i guarantee youll cut that crap out

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Amari cooper stated he was upset with himself and said he should have caught it. Everyone in the world knows he should have except for the crackheads on here that think even the greatest qb throws a perfect pass every play. I hope you are watching pat mahomes right now

Of course, he should say that but that doesn't change the fact that physics are at play there and the catch is not an easy one. I'm not a crackhead and I'm not stupid. There is a difference between saying he should have made the catch and saying it was an easy catch. End of day, if the ball is thrown well, this not an issue. Because the ball was not thrown well, it is. It's as simple as that really.

Pat Mahomes has nothing to do with anything.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Amari Cooper on his record day: The only thing on my mind is the dropped ball and the turnover it created. I feel like I had it. It was an easy catch, took my eyes off it because I was focused on the touchdown and I dropped it. It created a turnover.

What would he sound like if he said it was a hard catch and a poorly thrown ball? What else is he going to say? He's not going to throw Dak under the bus and he shouldn't. But the ball was not thrown well and it wasn't an easy catch IMO. If you disagree, that's fine. We disagree.

 

[Sydla]

I think lack of turnovers is definitely a scheme/coaching issue. Here's where the Cowboys have ranked in takeaways since Rod has been DC (and then the addition of Richard).

2019 - 28th
2018 - 16th
2017 - 18th
2016 - 20th
2015 - 32nd
2014 - 2nd

The players keep changing but the results, largely, do not. What's the one consistent thread since 2014? The scheme we play. It does not lend itself to generating turnovers in today's NFL.

Yes. Every coach does similar drills. Every coach preaches discipline and winning. Every play drawn up on the chalkboard is successful.

Guess there's no difference in coaches, then. They're all the same. It's just a matter of those darn players executing.
