[general counsel]

Forcing teams to go to the air isnt going to cause turnovers without a pass rush. While we arent stopping the run, our inability to get a pass rush is really whats killing us. It cost us the seattle game for sure and hurt us badly in san diego when we had them backed up in third and long.

Turnovers come from pressure or from lousy execution by the other team. Better teams (ie the seattles, san diegos, carolina, and kc of the world) are a LOT less likely to screw up on their own without pressure than arizona, green bay and detroit, which explains their records. Thus, we need pass rush to cause pressure that will lead to turnovers.

ramming speed to all
