3RD & LONG

At some point Leonhard needs to be blamed.

I know he plays better in the post season but this midget is hurting the team right now. Sooo overrated. Every player Rex Ryan has a crush on is overrated. Sanchez has played good this year, but he's still overrated. Revis, crap. Trevor Pryce? Is he in the UFL now? Brodney Pool is not better than Rhodes. John Connor is just okay but he's Rex's black son.

the idea is to create turnovers, and yes, you will give up first downs in the process

decades of "bend but don't break" have made it hard to get used to

they shouldn't be giving up so many, but the relentless pressure usually pays off

We suck at it. We've given up so many because we continue to do all out blitz when there is absolutely no need...

Same exact system we ran last season and ended the year as the best defense on 3rd and outs for this very reason. Keep this thread around for eleven more games and i guarantee you we are in the top 5 of defenses in this situation.

Two of those TD play were some of the perfect pass and catch combos you will see in the NFL.

If thats what it takes i will tip my cap to the opposing player.

But we should not have let that 2nd TD on the 3rd and 19 to Percy Harvin complete where he walked into the end zone. I think Revis screwed up on that play.

Both safeties have my non-plussed...I was starting to like Pool and then he got taken out for a few series' because he got dinged up.

Its been five games and countless wasted 3rd and longs. I know we've been winning but i think we'd benefit from not blitzing on 3rd and 17 once and while. It really has been killing us. Especially if we aint even getting close to the QB in the 2nd half.

It's annoying until it works. That's playcalling for 'ya.

It bothers me too, but all I have to do is think back a few years and remember how damned crazed I was at the bend but don't break mentality, where we would just watch teams march down the field and win the game on a field goal. I wished desperately for a defense that would go at the QB in these situations, and finally having one, I'm gonna ride it all the way. But i get where you're coming from.
