Re: Interception: The Dirty "I" Word

And they also seem to avoid these "I" words like poison.
So far in 2014, 85 pass attempts against us in our first 2 weeks with ZERO interceptions.
2013 Ryan's D in the regular season? 12 INT's against 507 pass attempts (tied for 24th in the league) and an INT Rate of 2.4 (tied for 20th with 2 other teams). NINE out of 12 INT's were in the Dome in 2013, which is understandable due to us awesome freakin' fans. 2013 Ryan's D in the playoffs? 51 pass attempts in the playoffs; we got ZERO interceptions
And can you name the last player with a Pick 6? It was in 2012, I do know that much. Will we ever see this even rarer animal again during this season? And to conclude, is our secondary's hands really that terrible?
My Pick of a Pick? PRob. That's right. It'll be a deflection at the line of scrimmage with Cassell hassling PRob's assigned receiver...that is if PRob ever figures out who his assigned receiver is, that is.
If he's even out there, I'm hoping he's watching the game from the bench. One more big play on his end and they need to put Baptiste in. Or better yet just activate another running back and do away with the CB position on his side. Half the time its like nobody is back there anyway.
