Ugh, I thought this thread was gonna have coupons for free jerseys at jeresyboys.com, or esceller. :(

I feel so robbed...
From Mike Johnson's mouth. Everything will look much better if we decrease turnovers.


"The first thing we really need to make improvements on is taking care of the football."

"...we score a TD on the first drive and then fumble on the second..." [he didn't even mention another turnover on our 3rd drive]

"Those disruptions are stopping us from becoming explosive and efficient."

We have 13 turnovers in the last 16 quarters. Now, you figure sometimes your offense is lucky to get more than two drives a quarter and we are giving nearly half our drives per quarter away.

Carr, who was on the Giants, was on a team that gave up 13 turnovers in 16 games. He said the Niners focus more than any other team he's been on when it comes to ball security. Another ZONE myth debunked.

There is more than a 30 game disparity between teams that are plus in turnovers to teams that are minus when it comes to wins.

Read the article and you have the sole reason why we are losing.

BTW, Smih has been involved in 10 of those turnovers.

This is crap Joecool, we all know that the # 1 priority is for the defense to "create turnovers" and that's why we are 0-5

Wow! So if you have fewer turnovers than your opponent, it increases the chance of scoring? This is genius!

You know if you score more points than your opponent you also increase your chances of winning.

60% of the time, it works every time.

Our defense needs to stop running itself out of the play from our NT to our Patrick Willis to Nate Clements (SEA Game). This is also a "fysical" philosophy and the reason why we are not playing as we should. We need to sit back sometimes, send our pass rusher and allow the opposition to make mistakes rather than trying to force everything.

However, everything will look like s**t if we keep turning it over almost every quarter as mentioned in the article.
This is what I dont get about fans,Everyone hates sing,but its the players that fumble.I mean do they have to have someone tell them day and night dont fumble,shouldnt it be common sense for any athlete to know that themself.Falcons game nate doesnt fumble most likely a win,eagles 3 less fumbles probably a win.Thats why I sort of feel sorry for our coach,oh and according to Carr they stress upon this alot.I think in those areas its hell of alot more on the players shoulders than the coaching.Now the type of offense we run and plays that are called that I agree blow.

It's been obvious to me since the first game of the season. Everybody wants to blame Smith, Oline Gore whoever, and they're all at fault, but because the ball keeps getting into the other team's hands.

Imagine a game where we actually have 0 TOs. We'll score 30 points easily.
How many turnovers per game did the 9ers average last season!?
In a way, it did get us our new OC.

As for last year, I'm not sure but I do know that it was less than 15 in 5 games, much less.

wow, we would definitely not had eight wins if we were minus ten.
HUH DUUUUUUUUUUUHR!!!

In case you don't understand this everyone on the Zone knows that our turnovers are the issue.

But of course all the Turnovers are Smith's fault so replace the QB already and viola all better.

Branch is looking to piss his career away isn't he? Not even Maiocco could overcome this kind of regurgitation.
