Is there a 3rd down distance that you feel comfortable with our D?

[OrangeFoo]

I don't think there is... it could be 3rd and 30 and I feel pretty comfortable that our D will give up the first.

Terrible.

 

[cuseguy]

Among the best defenses on first and second down. Among the worst on third down.

Terrible.

Who are you rooting for? Comfortable our D would give it up? I'm just kidding, but that's a serious point.

 

[Tornado91]

It's been terrible on 3rd down all year. No significant pass rush and trouble in the secondary.

 

[UelSU]

3rd and 50...and we might give that up too.

 

[jekelish]

I'm a little more optimistic. I'll say 3rd and 34 sounds about right.

 

[Alsacs]

We can't get a pass rush with 4 without Chandler Jones. I just pray we stop them on 3rd before the other team is in 4 down territory.

 

[Cusee44]

3rd and 25+. Definitely not comfortable with a 3rd and 15...

A little more penetration would help.
