Wait, we fielded a defense yesterday?

Continually giving up 3rd downs, and not being able to stop teams when it's 3rd and plus ten yards, you don't want it enough and IMO don't deserve to win.

It's always the same thing, middle of the field wide open. It's been that way for 4 years now and nothing has been done to correct it. It's always the same, the zone drops back to right around the first down, sometimes we blitz an ILB, but the receiver finds the hole between 3 or 4 guys and gets just past the sticks.

Awesome! Look forward to more breakdowns like that. 5 star post.

Put in a lot of hard work here Ian. Capturing video and adding text- not easy work. Great breakdown!

Just a bump for anyone who hasn't seen this.

Nice article.....thanks.
Although, painful to look at....Way too many third and longs converted.
