3 games in and still not one Interception

[Praxit]

Dallas and 4 others have zip this year. We have been close at least 3 times, that I've seen. Nonetheless, still big zero. Its not consequential we get them, because we do generate fumbles. Though would be a big plus factor down the road.

I personally, dont think its Richard's enigma. In fact, I've heard him comment on sidelines, "lets take the ball away". Seems like our CB's play whiffed by giving up the big play, in return lead to playing with their backs to the ball.

...what are you seeing?

Not many opportunities for them, and a couple drops.

Nothing to glean from it.

bad ball skills period hitting 2 guys in the head another in the hands and ive seen two Tds given up where if the CB turns his head its slap down oor INT easily..

.brings to mind, the one hitting Heath on back of head. If he's looking, he gets it and runs home.

 

[blueblood70]

maybe if they are fined 1k per TO OR they should have maybe a friendly wager between players like a missed Turnover jar..1k per missed play, tackle, and turnover..

then at seasons end whomever has the most turnovers gets the jar and a turnover Chain lol..

 

[JohnBoy]

Not to re-direct, but isn't this part of the BBDB defensive philosophy?

 

[ShiningStar]

who cares, i still like this defense under Richard compared to what it has been lately.

we re winning, he gets on the players, he has the players playing better.

lets just roll with it.

 

[Teague31]

According to some on the board it’s totally irrelevant as long as really bad teams aren’t scoring on us

 

[cowboyblue22]

for this team to be a true contender that is one thing that is going to have to change if not then they wont do much in the playoffs if they even make it there

 

[reddyuta]

One of the reasons i am not a fan of this D,they are not actively looking to force turnovers.just look at the Bears safeties and how they play,our safeties are happy to come up and make a tackle.

 

[ShiningStar]

omg, he NFL just installed a new rule. If you ont get any ints, you cant win a game. what are we going to do now guys. looks like we cant win anymore games if we stop an offense from scoring because we dont get interceptions. how the heck do you like that. you now how have to have ints to win.

I have always felt like most interceptions are given rather than taken so the opportunities are gonna mostly arise from constant pressure from D line.

..I was going to mention that. And its true to a point. If DL gets pressure the percentage goes up to get em'.

 

[zrinkill]

I admit this is concerning

 

[Walker]

I will be concerned once we lose ball games.

You know this may be considered a cop out......but I just think we aren’t meant to get picks. I don’t know if we are cursed or what. It’s like the Detroit Lions and running back. No matter who they draft.....they will always suck at running back. We will always suck at getting interceptions. We’ve done everything.

4th in points given up defensively with a top 5 scoring offense....

Do you remember Everson Walls, Ron Fellows and Michael Downs?

 

[Hardline]

I want the defensive backs to prevent the receivers from catching the ball without interfering before the ball arrives first and foremost.

Interceptions are just an added bonus

 

[CowboyGil]

as long as we force turnovers who cares what variety they are. Like the one Jaylon forced at a very crucial time. it absolutely killed any momentum the Dolphins had. I'm more concerned with the offense getting TDs taken off the board due to penalties.
