He's got a point and stats to back them up but I don't know if he'll come back in this thread. He doesn't post as often as he should.

His point though, is negated by the sheer statistical fact that teams that find themselves in 3rd and long fail more often than they succeed.

The money down is 2nd down ... always has been, always will be. You play with 1st down. 2nd down sets up everything. You don't want to face third and long too often ... it is a recipe for failure.

Inside the red zone is a completely different animal with completely different stats.

Red zone is where the going gets tough. You can't confuse the two.

Gurley, like Lattimore and I suspect Chubb and Williams will be .... is very good inside the twenty where those kind of backs never lose yards and can smell the end zone.
