Cause of third down conversion problems
As we all know the Saints used to be one of the at converting on 3rd down.
Are the problems now due to poor play selection, the offensive line not opening holes for RBs or allowing Brees to be pressured? This is almost as big a problem as all the injuries. |

It seems he never has time to throw on 3rd downs.

Predictability is the main thing we can't seem to overcome in moving the chains. That and having Snead back in his old form in the slot.

Lack of a tight End and receivers. They stack the box and dare Brees to throw.

Re: Cause of third down conversion problems
Running the ball on 2nd and 10 and gaining nothing is the biggest problem with 3rd down. Seems if we gain nothing on 1st down, we always try to run the ball on 2nd down and gain NOTHING. This has to stop.

Re: Cause of third down conversion problems
We did a pretty good job AVOIDING 3rd down altogether against the Panties.

Re: Cause of third down conversion problems
If the Saints can consistently beat the man in front (inside the trenches) of them ...
Ingram & Kamara will have a big day. And most times that is trouble for opposing defenses. |
