Next game, but it will be due to Aaron Rogers being unable to hand off. ;)

hard to get an interception when giving a 10 yd cushion.

It is also difficult when the opposing QB does not throw many interceptions. McNabb throws 1 interception for every 48.13 pass attempts. That happens to be the best rate in NFL history. When he misses his receivers his passes tend to hit the dirt, so there is little chance for defenders to intercept them.

The defense only allowed 11 completions when facing Derek Anderson. They weren't picking off passes, but they were preventing completions.

Wade Phillips whole 34 playbook is designed on creating turnovers.

Finally, our job is to take the ball away from the opponents offense and score or set up good field position for the offense. We must knock the ball loose, force mistakes, and cause turnovers.

When he was hired in San Diego, he stated:

Our approach is, that’s our job, not only to stop the other team. Defensively, when you get into the philosophy of how you play a defense, it’s not to just stop them and make them punt, it’s to take the ball away from them and give your offense and opportunity. We work together; offense, defense and special teams. To be a part of that, you have to take the ball away. You have to change field position. When we address defense, it’s not just stopping them, those stats of how many first downs and how many times you stopped them, but it’s how many times you take the ball away, so that has to be an emphasis also.”

I've seen certain things that contradict this. Dallas is playing, not trying to force mistakes, but playing hoping that players will eventually make mistakes. They did this last year with Jason Campbell and Eli Manning, at the end of the year, as well as Aaron Rodgers. They did it this year with Donovan McNabb.

A lot of things Wades say is contradictory

I don't think Wade has the confidence in the players. Either that or he is a moron

just think how good we would be with a turnover.

I bet we'd be 2-0 right now if we just had more turnovers.

Problem is we'd get a turnover that would be nullified because 1 or more of our morons never learned that you can't use the face mask to make tackles!

Turnovers do come in streaks and I think this Sunday will yield some.
