Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 1187148, member: 1452"] No. What he is saying, without saying it, is that he likes the chances of his defense getting a three and out better than the chances of his O getting a first down and, if the O does not pick up the first, it has changed field position as the opponent now has the ball out by the 40 rather than, hopefully, somewhere around the 10. Taking it a bit further, with a three and out, the O should get the ball somewhere around midfield vs somewhere around their own 20 if they had gone for it and not made it. And, given that he already seems to not have much confidence in the O, it follows that he thinks the shorter the field he can give his offense, the better off they are. The turnover mention is just filler. You don't have to like it. You don't have to agree with it. But that is what he is saying. [/QUOTE]
