3rd down defense effects an offense more then offensive turnovers effect a defense..... w/ that said D'onofrio has been more of a handicap for our offense then Morris, James Coley, or any other player/coach you all want to say isnt good enough.
Couldn't agree more. I know some care most about 3rd downs, I was wrong to want my offense to score points and my defense to not allow points. I should have been focusing more on 3rd Down. That is a big shame on me, I am sorry. Points don't determine the game, 3rd downs do.
Ur still clueless as usual.... guess what 11-15 on 3rd down conversions mean? The offense is on the bench for 2/3 of the game.... let's break it down some more. What cant happen if ur offense is on the bench for 2/3 of a game???.... get on the field and try and score points right? get it, probably not.... lets see if we can keep going.
So once an offense is on the bench for 2/3 of a game, what's happening w/ the offense, they lose rhythm also more pressue is being put on them to execute perfectly that 1 or 2 drives they may have an opportunity to get on the field for..... is that realistic? to say that an offense cant make any mistakes, give up any sacks, be perfect on every 3rd down, hit every target, running back break every tackle b/c they wont be able to get back on the field if they dont?
It's not..... has it sunk in yet? the offense isnt going to score a TD every time, Kicker missed a FG etc, that doesnt mean they didnt do a good job moving the ball up the field... when you cant get on the field except every time FSU scores a TD it's over. The defense has failed this offense for most of the year.
The offense and the schedule is more of a reason why Miami is 7-1 then this defense by far even w/ a 1st year OC, Morris hurt, 2 top receivers out, and now Duke out.
