Wink’s D is boom/bust

[londonblue]

The only thing Giants were good at this was forcing/avoiding turnovers.

Joint 1st on total turnovers (31, 18 INT, 13 FR) & differential (+12).

Turnovers are the core of Wink's D philosophy but as a team we needed 10+ more sacks on a season and 20-30 yards fewer per game rush D to really make it work. We gave up too many cheap yards on the ground which combined with an inability to generate regular pressure sustained long drives for opponents that routinely led to 'easy' TDs.

This is possibly part of the tension (adding to personalities) between Daboll and Wink. I can imagine the HC values more highly a regular and predictable supply of the D forcing 3 and outs, seeing turnovers as a bonus with Wink seeing turnovers as THE key to winning D.

I am in favour of keeping Wink but I do think he needs (with help from Schoen) to find ways to shore up the recurring clear weaknesses in his D scheme.

I want to keep Wink. I doubt anyone we replace him with will be better, and the players love him.
