I think the bigger problem for us this year is the turnover ratio, or lack thereof. It's really amazing to still have a winning record and be third from last in this category.
Check the turn over margin against the last 4 or 5 games. Thats where the all telling signs are. The first 3 games I dont think we turned the ball over near as much as we have the last month. The record over the past 6 games will show how important the turn over ratio is. We need to get some INTs. We have only a few and that is not good for an agressive defense. but that all relates to pressure on the QB , which we dont have
