I wonder what our yards per play is. Must be pretty high.

1. Dallas 6.8
2. Indy 6.7
3. New Orleans 6.3

Does that mean the defense isn't doing it's job or the offense sees consistent 3 and outs?

Or does it mean we have the highest yards per play in the league??

 

[Galian Beast]

5th in the nfl in yards per pass attempt
1st in the nfl in rushing yards per attempt

Many of our yards on offense have come on quick strikes.

I really can't wait til our running backs and offensive line are closer to 100%

Thanks. I figured it would be pretty high, but it's good to know we have the highest.

I think its partly our offense, but I also think its our defense.

our offense is rated 14th in the nfl in first downs (missing 1 game). So I don't think its the constant 3 and out, we're also 17th on 3rd down conversion though.

I blame penalties and draw plays on that though.

Or the fact that we get lots of big plays, so when we score we don't use as many plays as a more methodical team.

good grief... we have alreayd had a bye week bro....

we are 14th in rush attempts per game and 9th in pass attempts per game.

we are tied for first with 8 plays of 40+ yards even though w ehave had our bye week explaining why we aren't even higher in attempts per game.
