Blocking & tackling after Turnovers

[hurrykaine]

I came across this aspect in a Greg Blache interview and wanted to get your thoughts on this.

We need a lot of work on blocking after we create a turnover on defense. All good defenses (Ravens, Pats, etc.) have showcased the ability to return a fumble or INT for a score on numerous occasions. Except for this year, it seems that the skins D hasn't had a culture of creating many turnovers for the last many years. This shows in their blocking after a turnover - mostly, they're just elated that a TO was created. There was no reason why Smootie shouldn't have returned his INT for a TD against the Ravens. Taylor could've scored a TD against the bears with some better blocking.

Similarly, after an offensive TO, we rarely see plays where our players prevent a score. Ladell Betts' feeble attempt on Ed Reed was pathetic. To be fair, we do have people like Coles who never give up - his play against Seattle last year, where he knocked the ball out of the interceptor's hands was memorable. We missed two tackles on Azuma in the Bears game. Part of the problem this year has also been that our TOs have been caused in the backfield deep in our own territory. Any thoughts?
