I agree.  However we can't run it.  The only way to limit turnovers is by refusing to throw the ball into tight windows on tough down and distances.  AKA conceding almost every offensive series and hoping that your defense or special teams can win the game for you, which clearly (judging back the lack of forced turnovers for over a decade) they can't.

Exactly. Though I will say I am optimistic the defense has more turnovers this year. The aren't game planning yet, and you got to hope the defensive line is better than what has been shown. Honestly I have liked what has been shown from Fowler so far. Didn't get a chance to play tonight, but you get him, Ngakaoue, Campbell, and Jackson out there with Ramsey, Bouye, Gip, and Church (heck he has been every where on the field, love not having to see Cyp anymore) I have to be optimistic about that. 

To the point though, you've got to hope Marrone and Hackett change up their philosophy to adapt to the talent at hand. That is the difference between great coaches and good ones. You can't force a player to be something he isn't, or an offense to be something they aren't. There is no way this is a power run team.
