The third-down sacks are critical ones, 'cause that's getting off the field.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do know some missed tackles usually that comes down to leverage, and I know those are correctable and fixable.
I want to play defense. I want to get sacks.
Like I always say, it's not how many great plays you make; it's how few bad ones you make. I know fans, and even some losing coaches, are enamored with long pass completions or the great run plays, but that doesn't offset the interception or the fumble.
Third down and long is the toughest situation for any offensive coordinator in the NFL.
Everybody goes through situations like this. A tipped ball, a shoe-string tackle on a third-down scramble by the quarterback where he has 40 yards to run.
A little more movement of the defensive side of the ball, some rules that will be unnoticed, but a big rule will be allowing the jack linebacker to move out of the box sideline to sideline.
During the season... fun, to me, is getting sacks, making tackles and winning games. It's not spending money, girls, or, you know, this and that.
Big league defense is going to get outs most times.
The quarterback gets plenty of protection in the pocket, and he picks up protection out of the pocket; he's got protection down the field on his slides.
The whole key about the no-huddle is getting first downs because if you're getting three-and-out, it kind of defeats the purpose.
