I read a stat a few weeks ago, MM's team's rank 2nd in defensive turnovers throughout his career.

Would never have bet on anything close to this. Way to step up as a team.

Hard to believe the improvement since last years dumpster fire of a defense

DIGGSY'S DEN OF THIEVES

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Diggs needs one more to tie the team record yes?

 

[Proof]

incredible after being so utterly inept in that department for years. jordan lewis paying dividends as well. i always liked that guy and glad to see him getting some shine

 

[JPM]

Diggs needs one more to tie the team record yes?

Yes with Walls.

 

[nalam]

Which year was the thurman thieves and how many Interceptions that year ?

 

[gmb1]

This will be the difference maker!

 

[Aviano90]

Diggs needs one more to tie the team record yes?

Yes.

As a comparison, Byron Jones has 4 in his entire career. Remember when Byron fans used to mock those who wished he generated more turnovers?

We have 23 INTS and we are now #1 in turnovers tied with the Colts with 31.

 

[Ekspozed]

When's the last time theyve done that?

 

[JD_KaPow]

When's the last time theyve done that?

Done what?
Had 22+ interceptions? We had 24 in 1999. The team record is 37 in 1981.
Led the league in interceptions? We did that in 1981. I don't think we've done it since (and maybe never before as well).

 

[JD_KaPow]

Yes.

As a comparison, Byron Jones has 4 in his entire career. Remember when Byron fans used to mock those who wished he generated more turnovers?

I remember people mocking the folks who said Byron was a trash CB. I don't remember anyone getting mocked for saying, "I wish he'd generate more turnovers."

Crazy stuff..no one thought we would be 10-4 now with a top ranked defense carrying as many games as the offense, I certainly did not. Thats what championship team are built off of..one unit is down the other wins the game, dont let the "we cant win with this" crowd fool you...this is exactly how you win, top 5 offense and a top 5 defense..this team has something going.

 

[SlammedZero]

If this defense can continue on it's trajectory and start heating up for the playoffs.........

 

[Streifenkarl]

What is our "points made of turnovers" ratio compared to other teams? So including Pick sixes and the first drive after the turnover?

So Quinn is not the turnover guru that he is getting credit for being?
