Anyone else figure we MUST establish the Rush?

Agreed, turnover ratio is going to be key. We force a few, we go full throttle and that takes care of Atlanta's offense. No Turner and short stuff to Gonzo. The less we have to depend on our LBers the better. If we give up the ball, it will be too close for comfort and maybe the win. We will have to depend on FGs to keep us alive. Our defense will be gassed from the ATL run game.

It's important but not the key IMO. We didn't turn it over last week until we had to go for on 4th down with a few minutes left and were losing late.

The key is the defense getting off the freaking field. If Turner is allowed to do what Rice did the you can go ahead and give us the L, even if we once again protect the ball well.
