Turnovers

Aloha you scaliwags...

My question: When is the last time we had a momentum shifting turnover?

I ask this because, we really haven't had one this season.  A few pass plays working out in the D's favor, a few ST or fumblerooskies but really no CB, LB jumping ahead of a pass or the D truly taking over.  You have to think Jackson, Reid, or Shaq are due for one.  Don't worry about James bc he can't catch a cold.  

I don't mean to pile on the hate for the D deal going on but this is the most concerning IMO.  Team's don't mind playing us anymore.  No pressure, no turnovers.  

Mike Adams and Luke Kuechly can't do everything.  Adams may seem irrelevant but those are the only two who have played nearly every snap this season.

A lot of it has to do with our defensive philosophy. We are a defense that doesn't give up the big pass play, so the underneath stuff is there for teams. Our pass rush is good enough that seven step drops aren't advisable, and teams know that. Hence the quick routes eating us up. 

Our corners playing off so much is all philosophy. Keep the play in front at all costs, remain close enough to make the tackle with minimal YAC.

    • I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL
    • I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes. 
    • I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
