Message: [QUOTE="Orijinal, post: 3149469, member: 2359"] We have been harping on offensive line performance and Devito's inability to handle pressure or move in the pocket (as we should), but I think the 3rd glaring weakness of this team is 3rd down defense. I have no numbers to back this up, only what I observe on TV. But seems to me there needs to be vast improvement here This defense constantly gave up 3rd down yardage against Pitt. It was ridiculous that someone was always open ...and what I noticed was that a receiver was always open right around the first down marker, or a couple yards past. Defense has to adjust on 3rd down to focus on run support and making sure they know where the first down marker is, cause that's right where these catches wind up ..and they are back breakers ...every time [/QUOTE]
