[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 79455, member: 231"] I side a bit more on the focus and mental side because it seems like so many of the terrible plays and breakdowns are on 3rd downs , even especially on 3rd and longs. Also on 4th downs! This makes me sick to see since it is deja vu all over again with the worst of the Groh games. I keep finding myself thinking, ok guys, you just made 2 excellent stops on first and 2nd down, now you have to double down the effort and concentration to get that final stop. This is when offenses respond to the pressure of the down and try to up their game. That our D routinely fails to match that and so string together 3-4 good plays in a row but screw up after 2-3 good plays straight is the frustrating part. But to me that seems more mental and about maturity. I have no problem including a complaint about coaching when you see something repetitively but that it seems to happen so much on 3rd down strikes me as more about toughness and focus. [/QUOTE]
