They showed the stat as we attempted and converted another 3rd and 1 so it got a little better after that. Interesting and surprising, isn’t it?

That would just be baffling if it's true because it sure seems like this team just hasn't had the ability to line up and smash the ball forward on 3rd and short or the goal line.


I've been wondering what the rushing comparisons were when Morris was in/out. He was hurt early in the year and Hunt was running beast fuel, then he came back and team/rushing results tanked, then he was hurt again....I think offensive line is probably more to blame as the inside three have been sketchy imo.

I'm so "meh" about this hiring for OC....He's a Reid puppet and I just can't fathom that this move gets the offense away from the turtle-up effect to protect a lead, or inability to score when they HAVE to do so to win.

I'll believe it when I see it.
