I think I remember that we were pretty good on 3rd down defense. This came up before during the season and I do wonder how often was our D in third down?
I remember seeing all too often though 3 and short and one of our DB's playing off 7+ yards and giving up easy first downs.
I think it is obvious that you have to mix it up, can't stay one dimensional.
