SkinzFoLife Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I noticed a trend this year where we have opposing teams at 3rd and 15 or more and let them off the hook. Yesterday we had Dallas at 3rd and 15, and twice at 3rd and 19 and they got first downs and on one play a touchdown. A big play against the eagles was a 3rd and 20 and we let them get a first down. On those plays I notice we didn't blitz and play a zone. Well, if you don't blitz and get no pressure a good QB will always find the soft spot in the zone. We can't let teams conver 3rd and long on us, its just demoralizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiLfan Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 What else is new? In 2006 we gave up an ungodly number of 3rd and long conversions, and it's the same **** this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheItalianStallion Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 In 2004-5, Williams always sent pressure on 3rd & long, and it usually worked. He should get back to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuryYourDuke Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Even in 05...especially during our little losing streak falling to 5-6, we'd do that crap. This year is ridiculous though. I'd rather the team have a 3rd and 4 than 3rd and 15 against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashsra Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 It's a combination of not getting any pressure on the QB while having safeties with no coverage skills while ST is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuchip703 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Dallas didn't exactly stop us on 3rd and long yesterday....just to be fair. But I do feel that Williams needs to dial up some blitzes in these situations. The Philly game when it was 3rd and 20 and we gave up 19.5 yards which allowed for them to go for it on 4th. Send some blitzers and let our CB's make some plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_R Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Don't forget that Romo sits to pee also chased a loose ball, turned around and fired it downfield for a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I literally acted like a little ***** yesterday everytime our defense failed to stop them on 3rd and long. I would drop to my knees and pound the floor screaming "Why!? Why!?" :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyburd Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Gregg williams is starting to get on my bad side. I agree, I am so over this stubborn guy. He has to go. He better not be the HC if Gibbs leaves. Pay him the Mill, and don't let the door hit you on the @ss on the way out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeah, because our secondary is garbage without Sean Taylor and Carlos Rogers. Ball is snapped over Homo's head, he grabs it and throw for a 1st down. 3rd and 18, Reed Doughty(trash) tackles the receiver without even looking for the ball. Smart play. The most brilliant, however, is letting Terrell Owens go on every TD. Cornerback covers him for about 5 yards, then lets him go for the air to cover him. You think a safety or linebacker is going to make up 15-20 yards in a matter of 3 seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorhead Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 It just seems like every week we can't stop anyone on 3rd. Cowgirls competed 8/13 3rd downs We competed 5/13 :notworthy to the :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
