PUNTS. Forced punts by the defense. Is that not a turnover? What is the difference between a fumble recovery, an INT, a turnover on downs, and a forced punt ALL BY THE DEFENSE? Do they not all accomplish the same thing, which is to prevent the opposing offense from scoring and getting the ball back for your offense?
The defense forced 6 punts in that game, and what was the net result?
If the defense got 6 INTs or 6 fumble recoveries, but the offense fails to capitalize on any of those... how are those 6 INTs and forced fumbles any different from the 6 forced punts?
And like how you said that fumbles are volitional, how even moreso in forcing a team to punt?
So when Garrett states that the defense didn't get any turnovers, he's full of shit. Those 6 forced punts in that game were the turnovers.
I tend to agree with your punt to turnover comparison especially since it wasn't that long ago when we had a defense that could go entire games without forcing an opposing offense to punt even once.
