I was curious about this because we are ranked 122nd in team sacks and not suprisingly struggle mightily to get off the field on third down.
When the field compresses our defense APPEARS to be more effective. I capitalized 'appears' because luck certainly can skew this particular statistic. It will be interesting to keep an eye on as the season progresses and see if the trend holds as sample size increases.
Our D has had some short yardage stops/turnovers on downs so if I am an opponent and it's 4th and 1 I would view passing as a pretty reliable option.
What do you guys think?
