3rd down... | MyFootballNow

3rd down... by martinwarnett @ 5/05/2025 4:38 pm Doing some rudimentary data analysis (winds Seth up when I said that...) and all I can say is 3rd and long needs to be avoided as all costs... absolute coin toss, may as well punt. Lack of semi-effective long passes really kills that. It's either dink a short pass and hope or run and hope. Liked by GrandadB

I just my game plan to some number of short passes and forget it. Liked by GrandadB
