And if you have them in third and long, playing back to give up the short pass doesn't work if you can't come up and take the guy down. Which game was it with third and forever and a three yard pass turned into a twenty yard game? Actually, if probably happened more than once. But that one...I don't come screaming up out of the chair much any more, but I did on that one.
They are at or near the top of the league in giving up 3rd and long. They've gave up a ton of 3rd and 10+, super long.
