No, I'm with you...I'd rather have a defense that's fundamentally sound than a gambling one that is overcompensating for lack of talent and fundamentals. A by-product of a fundamentally sound defense has got to be forced turnovers, and considering our talent on the defensive side of the ball, we should be creating those turnovers. So are we talented but not fundamentally sound? I'd have to say yes, hence the 1 forced turnover this year against pedestrian offenses...yes, the Fail Clowns included. Ain't giving them credit for nothing.
