When you go to the playoffs, you win by making plays. Period. You don't win by not making bad plays. And that goes for the defense, too. Bend-don't-break can be effective, but if you're not willing to change it up and put the pressure on when you need to, you're going to lose.
I'll gladly take an extra 5-10 INTs at the end of the year if it means we get 5-10 more TDs and 1000 more yards through the air. The kind of numbers Eli Manning has been doing during the regular season from about 2007ish-2010ish would be acceptable. He'll throw picks, but at least he's not afraid to ****ing win. That seems to be the kind of QB Stanzi was at Iowa, and it's the kind of QB that Cassel is NOT.

I would like to see our offense have at least enough of a deep threat to keep opposing defenses honest. Keep those safeties back. The attack needs to be balanced enough that defenses cannot just zero in on our run game. And I don't think Cassel has the accuracy to make this happen.
