Their are a lot reasons we won last year. And their are a lot of reason we aren't this year, but the one that I haven't seen mentioned is turnovers. 

We're committing them, and we're not making the other team commit them. And even when they try their hardest too, we don't recover fumbles and we drop picks.

8 times out of 10, if you check an NFL boxscore, and see won the turnover battle, you've seen who won the game.

So why aren't we causing turnovers? Who do we blame? How can we change this? And is it too late??

You don't win in the NFL with 4 turnovers. You shouldn't win. So who's fault is this? 

Turnovers are about two things primarily. Creating pressure, and avoiding pressure. Rushed QB's. Make Rushed decisions, which leads to picks. Protected QB's, make good decisions which lead to points. 

Our O line must continue to gell. I DLINE must step it up. Because if we're going to go 9-2 (we need 10-6 for a wildcard imo) we need turnovers. 

All that being said, tonight, when we created the most pressure we have all year, and protected the QB as well as we have all year, we had a -4 turnover differential, so what do I know...

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
