If this is correct..

9 Games
16 TOTAL carries on 3rd Downs.

That goes to show how much faith Jason Garrett has in our running game.

If you scroll it down fast you can almost see the three lemons popping up in a row.

I was doing a similar analysis except was looking at the play calling on run plays with respect to how the play was drawn up. The direction the opposing teams run defense has to stop when a certain RB was on the field. I don't know if there are any trends.

Numbers are not from a perfect database (i am building it).

nice thread btw :)

Just checked
16 Total Running Plays out of 113 Attempts

Anyone wondering now why Dallas couldn't convert a 3rd down to save their life last Sunday

Tell a defensive coordinator that a offense throws the ball 86% of the time on 3rd down and watch that offense get shut out

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

Well, if the Cowboys ever have 6 yards to go, I know who they should hand it to.

Nice post DE.

The lack of running attempts on third and short are disheartening however, with out knowing how many times we passed in those situations no point in jumping the gun.

This is what I was trying to get at the other day when I said that Jason Garrett puts the offense at a tremendous disadvantage with his play calling sometimes. Defenses know what Garrett is going to do in certain situations because he's so predictable. That's what the, "the players just need to execute," crowd doesn't seem to understand. Garrett makes it nearly impossible for the offense to execute in certain situations because the defense knows what play is coming before the offense even breaks the huddle. Can the players still execute even if the defense knows what's coming? Sure, but the odds go WAY down.

How many of those 113 attemps are longer than 3rd and 5? It appears to me that 11 of those 16 attempts are on 3rd and 4 or less, which makes perfect sense. It seems like Dallas has had a lot of 3rd and longs this year, much more than 3rd and short, and if it's 3rd and long, a defensive coordinator isn't going to care about how often you throw on 3rd down, he's playing the pass. Obviously the pass rate for 3rd down is going to be higher than the other 2 downs.

I bet the conversion rate, league wide, for passing on third and ten or greater is better than the conversion rate for running in the same circumstance.

I wonder where the success break point in yardage is at for run vs pass performance.

Combine that with our team averaging over 10 yards on third down and our numbers will look skewed.
