The biggest problem with the Cowboys and getting turnovers is the idea that the team doesnt pay attention to details. They are thinking they are talented but they dont hone their talent to make it better. To me it doesnt even look like they practice the fundamentals. Defensively this team has a bunch of individuals out on the field, they dont always play like a team. They lack coaching mentally and physically.Clearly that’s been the #1 problem on defense for nearly 15 years it seems. Many different DCs/head coaches and players have come through and put up good sack numbers and points/yards per game but never the INTs.
How do other teams like the Patriots do it? Is it more on the scheme or players

People ask why are the Patriots so good all the time. Brady says they run hills at the end of every practice. Gronkowski says they practice no matter what the weather is. Belichick issues homework assignments every week on opponent and has pop quiz in Sat meeting. You miss question you dont play.
The study of opponent is how that CB for the Pats picked off the pass from Wilson in the SB. The formation tipped him off.
Well in my opinion the first thing I would teach is for the damn secondary to get their hands up and turn their head when they're covering a receiver and not play 10 yards off the freaking ball we've been doing that for years I thought with Richard coming that would change it did sort of at times but this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of playing 10 yards off Los ?? On a 3rd and 30 or 3 and 25 Maybe prevent defense Maybe? But we all know how our prevent defense turns out I can't count the number of times that I've seen our secondary be right there not turn around not look no hands up? Another thing is maybe they need to go Sue some wide receiver drills so they learn how to catch the damn ball is thrown right to them? They look like a bunch of circus clowns when the ball comes near them and no one else aroundClearly that’s been the #1 problem on defense for nearly 15 years it seems.

Where they lack is INTs. And this is all about the scheme. When teams know that the defense is designed to take away the outside and deep but funnel everything inside teams are going to take the easiest pass in football vs a zone which is the slant. For one the middle is going to be open because the defense forcing you inside with the LBers in a zone. And two the rules help them out because teams are aware of the defenseless receiver foul. Every NFL team knows this about the Cowboys defense and they use it religiously.
It is both. But looking at the talent first is a big deal. If a player was not productive with takeaways in college, they probably are not going to do so as a pro with the game faster.Clearly that’s been the #1 problem on defense for nearly 15 years it seems.

I also know Marinelli teaches them to swat the ball away rather than catch it but you got to have some common sense out there if you have a shot at picking it off go for it then if you can't knock it down oh, and there are times when the best thing to do is to knock it down but these guys don't seem to know the difference ? actually about anything to tell you the truthWell in my opinion the first thing I would teach is for the damn secondary to get their hands up and turn their head when they're covering a receiver and not play 10 yards off the freaking ball we've been doing that for years I thought with Richard coming that would change it did sort of at times but this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of playing 10 yards off Los ??

If you watch old practice tape from the Jimmy Johnson days, you will see how to improve turnovers. Johnson drilled his defense hard to teach them to cause turnovers on every play. A lot of it has to do unrelenting pressure to strip the ball. I have watched Garrett’s practices and I have never seen the team focus on turnovers.Clearly that’s been the #1 problem on defense for nearly 15 years it seems.

To be fair, Johnson could also practice them hard and had the time to do so. Today's game does not afford that kind of practice time. That does not mean you can't make the time.If you watch old practice tape from the Jimmy Johnson days, you will see how to improve turnovers.

ExactlyMarinelli scheme is Marinelli scheme. It's designed to pressure the passer into making mistakes, and keeping all big plays in front of you, and not giving up the big play. Hence, bend but don't break.
It worked back in 1996 when you had guys like Jeff Blake, Bobby Hebert, Trent Dilfer, and Steve Bono throwing the football. But the past 20 years have been the golden age of NFL QB's and this system is antiquated and disgusting.
