The real reason we are not creating turnovers

[Rockport]

The answer why we are not creating turnovers is so simple. We had 31 turnovers last year on defense. Let's look who had them......

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/2014.htm

Bruce Carter 5 INts
Orlando Scandrick 2 ints 2 FF
Justin Durant 1 int 1 FR 2 FF
Sterling Moore 2 FR 1 FF
George Selvie 1 FR 1 FF
Dwayne Harris 1 FR
Anthony Spencer 1 FR 2 FF
C.J. Spillman 1 FR 1 FF
Henry Melton 2 FR
Keith Smith 1 FF
Terrell McClain 1 FF

FF=Forced fumble
FR=Fumbles recovered
INT=interception

17 of the 31 turnovers are from guys that are no longer here......

We are on pace for 8 this season.....Do the math

The guys that were creating all those turnovers are no longer part of the organization....

Now look @ this year......

Sean Lee 1 INT
J.J. Wilcox 1 INT
Greg Hardy 1 INT 1 FF
Nick Hayden 1 FR

And that's it...........4 turnovers

Is this a joke?

Pathetic? We're only losing because of Romo being hurt. This off season/season, we gained or drafted:

Greg Hardy, La'el Collins, Darren McFadden, Randy Gregory, Byron Jones, David Irving and a bunch of guys like Damien Wilson and Chaz Green that will help us down the road. Most off seasons are complete failures compared to the amount of players we gained that are actual play makers

I bet you're one of those guys who loved Matt Johnson also...Mentioning Wilson and Green is hilarious. Typical though of fans who are ok with mediocrity. Can we please not anoint guys like Gregory until he proves something. Collins and Jones are proving they can play, but we thought Hitch could after last year. And Irving didn't come in the off season, but I think he'll be a stud. And finally, I hope we didn't rent Hardy for one year.. We need to get his deal done soon.

The problem wasn't getting rid of Bruce Carter, the problem was trusting your LB core in a china doll and psychopath. Both have done what they've done their entire careers yet we're somehow shocked by it.

YESSSSIRRRR

Do you see anyone clamoring for his services?

I don't. Nobody will touch him right now except Dallas.

He is really making things hard on himself with his comments and that's just fine with me. Not his comments itself they're pretty stupid, but the fact that he's just pushing other teams away.

We need to re-sign Greg Hardy.

Since 1940, there have been 17 teams with 0 takeaways in 5 of their first 8 games, including both the Ravens and Jaguars this year.

Last Sunday night, Dallas became the first team in 76 years with 0 takeaways in 6 of its first 8 games.

The record for a full season is 9 such games, set by the Bills in 2002 (coach fired next season) and later tied by the 2012 Eagles (coach fired) and 2013 Texans (coach fired).

We sure like to make history under Garrett’s watch.

- Scandrick & T. McClain are on IR...Scandrick had the 2nd most takeaways last year.

- Don't think anyone would've voted for Selvie & Spencer over signing Hardy & drafting Gregory.

- Carter was the guy with the most turnovers...but as Tampa is finding out, he definitely wasn't worth $4+ mil per, and those 5 Int's last season were the only one's of his career to date. Wouldn't have minded seeing Carter stick around, but not at that price. Wanted to keep Durant...but much like Lee he's had some trouble staying healthy, and he has 3 Int's & 6 FF's for his career. RoMac is a big disappointment.

- Crawford overtook Melton at 3-tech last season, but has underwhelmed this year.

- Keith Smith was waived to make room for McClain when he returned from suspension.

- C.J. Spillman was indicted on the rape charge from last season following several months of investigation.

No, I never loved Matt Johnson, not sure where that came from. I'd rather be optimistic about a couple mid round draft picks rather than expect two guys who haven't even played much if at all yet to bust. This FO drafted/signed Smith, Frederick, Martin, Leary and Collins.... I trust their judgement in Green. And Wilson has strong tackling attributes, he just hasn't been thrust into a starting position like Hitchens was last year when Lee went down

And you're already writing Hitchens off? Because of a year he's been mostly battling a foot injury?

Seems to me you're the type of guy that wants a starter day 1 or the player is a bust

I don't think it's just coincidence we are not making turnovers

I see how this works now. We waive our journeymens to get new journeymens who do less.

DRAFT!!!!!

Well it certainly is a funny conclusion.

I think the OP is right. Sterling Moore comes in and gets his first start for Tampa and gets a pick. Durant is ATL best linebacker.
