CBs need to step up!

Our defense's inability to create turnovers is the reason we can't put teams away. I'd bet if you look at the games this year that have been decided by a 13+ point margin, the winning team had a +2 turnover ratio the VAST majority of the time. One notable exception being the week 3 Atlanta/Saints, though we had a special teams TD and a blocked field goal in the game.

Our front 4 doesn't create consistent pressure, and I've noticed quite a few of our sacks have been coverage sacks. Probably half of interceptions are created by pressure up front and/or tipped balls. We get very few of either. Our starting defensive ends have 6.5 sacks between them. There are 9 players in the NFL that have that amount or more.

I realize our secondary isn't GREAT, and probably isn't in the top 3rd of the league, but they haven't been given many opportunities to 'pin their ears back' and go for the ball. They're out there in coverage for 3 or 4 seconds trying not to give up a big play.
