Turnovers
Great, I came away from this convinced for the first time that we're surely not gonna win the Super Bowl. Not gonna happen.
Getting off the field on 3rd down usually translates to a higher ranked D, a la 2010, but w/ out the turnovers, a la 2010...well...that ended, well, not well.
Many of my brothers are banking on scheme, & our players settling in & when they do, they'll get 'em. But as it was pointed out to me, Ryan's D usually doesn't produce "Greg Williams" like seasons.
& if Ryan overcomplicates things as he did in little d(allas), which is his chief criticism around the league, we may never settle. Hopefully he learned, but as ego's go, we remember Williams blitzing his brains out in SF & we know how that ended. Big ego's rarely learn.
We all remember how we got to the Super Bowl defensively in '09. We're gonna have to find another way.
I came away from this thread thinking for the first time "we have little-to-no shot." Only hope I have is we have a Green Bay type 2010 season (still don't know how they did it w/ no D & no running game...oh yeah, they got turnovers)..:scratch:
