I'd like to see more bump and run. Likely get burned just as much but there's a greater chance of a bad throw or tip ball up for grabs and right now we can't win without a turnover. And the stripping the ball, we need to get away from that and concentrate on tackling. It was a gimmick that worked well for a while. If you watch teams now there is more focus on holding on to the ball around the Saints.

absolutely! GREAT point on going for the strip a little too much. i totally agree that when offenses are gearing up to face us, they're coaches are drilling them on ball security because thats something greg williams had made known he's going to have his players go for every game.

just like the coaches always know our db's will jump the routes. just watch film of hasselbeck and the seahawks taking advantage of this with pumpfakes in the playoff game last season.
