The blowouts you normally see in football occur when one particular team keeps turning it over with INTs, fumbles deep in their territory, pick sixes, etc. We don't force many turnovers hence our games are typically closer.
Is it because of Spags' reliance on man-to-man?

No. I think it’s because we can’t get to the QB with a 4 man rush to force fumbles or rushed throws from a QB into traffic. I think Omenihu will change that. Play Karlaftis and Omenihu on the outside with Jones and Wharton on the inside I think changes the pass rush dramatically.
