3rd and LONG!

[Coogiguy03]

For years it seems when teams have 3rd and super long 10+, they're at a high rate of success against our defense. Countless times we saw this happen during yesterday's game. We have to be better, not complaining just stating a fact that needs fixed your thoughts!!

I cringe every time it's 3rd and long I'm like uhh they're about to get a 1st, and it happens

I mean all you gotta do is stop thinking that obviously...and turn your hat around and inside out, take your shirt of on those downs also and spin around three times while saying "never gonna get it, never gonna get it......." that should solve this problem!

I just looked at the last 5 years, 2016-2020, and it turns out Dallas is in the middle of the pack in allowing other teams to convert on 3rd and long. They're at 19.7%, 16th in the league. They were actually even better from 2018-2020, 14th.

That's an incredibly loose zone they're playing and I'm guessing the idea is that the pass rush will get home and the secondary will have eyes on the QB waiting for the mistake. Works great on crap teams but when they play a protected team like the Packers that have been holding forever and getting away with it,,, no so much.

The analytical charts show the difference between picking up 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 12 is minuscule. The decision was made to go with(3rd and 12) giving them fewer chances to pick up the first down while the odds of making it were practically the same. I like the decision but of course, we have wannabe coaches that think they know better, as usual.
