Optimistically, if our defense starts causing turnovers, that could be the prompting JC needs to begin taking more risks. Who knows.

While I agree that JC has been conditioned by Gibbs to be ultra conservative in his decision making and as a fan it's frustrating to see him check down so frequently, I don't know any football mind that will agree that 0 INT is 'non necessarily a good stat.' A punt is always better than a pick, 100 times out of 100.
