3?
We actually converted most of our 3rd and shorts on passing plays.

BUt it's not about that. It's about time usage. The texans wouldn't have run as many slants on that last drive if we had made them use another time out. It would have been quick outs teh whole way down the field. Instead, we don't run the ball, they get an extra 30 seconds, and they don't have to use one of their timeouts. They're sitting pretty with 2 timeouts and don't mind rushing the ball or throwing a slant. really leaves a lot more options for them instead of limiting them.
