It's been over a month since the last takeaway

IheartRomo · Dec 3, 2019

Teams with 0 turnovers win a given game at about a 75% clip. By game time on Thursday, it will have been over a month since the defense has forced a turnover. We're all but guaranteed to lose the turnover battle (or push, at best) going into a given game.

The defense's complete inability to force turnovers is one of the top-of-the-list issues with this team. It seems a new scheme/staff will be needed to even begin the process of fixing it.

No such thing as a takeaway in today's NFL, only giveaways.

We've had plenty more of those...

When was the last time we had a TD from special teams?

That’s insane. I didn’t believe you so I looked it up. No turnovers since the Giants’ black cat game. That includes fumbles and interceptions.

You’re just not going to win many games without TOs.

Ironically the eagles/Ginats B2b wins were the last time we got TOS.. sure helps to have defense help the offense..

for sure ST is the worst unit right now then Defense , coaching and then we can go Offense last other then needing bit more balance run/pass the offense isnt really where to look for most of the issues Sans the Gb/Bills game where Dak looked bad ...

Have they ever been in the top half of the league in takeaways under Marinelli?

JayFord · Dec 3, 2019

Im surprised we have any

DallasDW00ds0n · Dec 3, 2019

The Giants are morbid this year. Take away that game, do we have any others? Lol

November 2017. It was a punt return for a touchdown by Ryan Switzer.

By the time the Rams come to town, it’ll have been almost two months since the Cowboys won at home.

Sydla · Dec 3, 2019

The scheme we play just isn't conducive for creating turnovers.

Takeaways? Where we're going, we don't need takeaways..

Then before that was Dwyane Harris in 2013.

Last kickoff for a TD was from Felix Jones in 2008.

It's not like that's much different from many other teams. There are only like 5 KR touchdowns a year.

Tavon had one last year but they called it back.

Until the Cowboys get a couple of those knock you in the teeth DT's, a ball hawk free safety and CB's that turn around and look for the ball this trend will only continue.

Thank you, I knew it was something ridiculous.
