[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 49121, member: 216"] Here is a key part of my post, which you quoted, that pertains to all of exactly what you just typed. Our offense is going to struggle a little more than others throwing in obvious passing situations. It's going to excel much more than others throwing in normal situations. That's why it makes all the sense in the world to focus on getting better at what we do. If a defense can sit in 2 deep coverage all game, there's very little doubt we're going to get beat, unless our defense also dominates the opposition. There's no way a defense should be able to sit in a defense like that against our offense. If they dominate us that much up front, I'm not sure we would've stood much of a chance anyway, no matter what system we run or who is our coach. Obviously in a 3rd and 6, a team is likely to be in a more pass-oriented defense. In our best offensive seasons, we've been able to run for a first down even on 3rd and 6. BTW, most teams are going to struggle on 3rd and 6. That's why you hear people say all the time, we want to have manageable 3rd down situations. Or we want to get them in 3rd and long. When the defense can pin their ears back in rushing the passer and cover the quick routes, it's going to be tough. Best chance you have at converting a 3rd and long is to have a QB who is athletic enough to perhaps avoid that initial rush and extend the play. That's what a Manziel or a RGIII or Nick Marshall, or even Russell Wilson does for you. It should also be what our QB's can do for us sometimes too. [/QUOTE]
