We have 6 INTs this year among five players - the shortest run back is 31 yards and longest is 81. Averaging 43 yards per return. Wow that's huge. Also, 3 of our starting DBs have scored - Grimes, Delmas and Finnegan (fumble return). I don't know if this all coincidence / circumstance but I don't recall seeing this type of productivity on turnovers in the past. We're talking major field position flips on many of these. How often do you see a guy pick the ball off deep in own end, only for the offense to come give us a 3 and out. I haven't looked up the stats but our POT must be very high this year.

RIP / RAP - lol

Wouldn't the shortest be the 22 yard pick for a TD by Grimes last week?
 
agreed royal, I dunno when the last time was that we actually Scored on turnovers, let alone capitalized off of them this often.
I think this is what a Kevin Coyle-run defense can look like when he has good players in the secondary. For too long we were runnin with Nolan Carroll and Chris Clemons, and Jimmy Wilson has been up and down most of his career, though thankfully getting better. Reshad took a year off last year as well. This year though I feel is completely different with the new guys in, and it's rubbing off on Jamar Taylor too, he's finally gaining some stability in his game.
 
Good catch - I was looking at the "long" and forgot Grimey's TD was shorter. Though it looked like it could have been good from 99 :)
