[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 77056, member: 77"] Even though in 2013 we were pretty bad at passing conversions of 3rd and long (10+ yards to go) at 33%, we were pretty good at avoiding those situations. We were tied for 99th out of 125 teams for [I]most[/I] 3rd and long situations (I guess that converts for tied for 26th in [I]fewest[/I]). Me, I'd rather be good at [I]avoiding[/I] 3rd and long than being good at converting it. What is more telling is how we are in overall 3rd down conversion rate. In 2013, we ended up tied for 4th for best 3rd down conversion %. That's what I'm talking about. So far this year, we are tied for 2nd. Also, another telling stat is scoring % in the red zone. Last year we finished tied for 13th at 90%. We just didn't have enough of those situations to win more games. That is mainly a product of our run-based scheme, but we could have done better with our possessions. We also could have benefited from better starting field position (can't find a stat for that, drats!) We seem to start every possession deep in our own end. Here's to getting [I]to[/I] the redzone more often this year. [/QUOTE]
