ganesh Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Actually I would much rather focus on third down efficiency. Keep the change moving. The fascination with the long ball is much like people's fascination with the driver in golf. The short game is really what makes or breaks golfers. This is not unlike offenses who are solid on downs one and two making third down far more manageable. The long ball has its place but it is not the end all be all. There is always this confusion about long balls...Many feel long balls as "bombs" that goes for 40-60 yards, whereas a majority of analysis defined long ball as something that provides 15-20 yards; some call them as intermediate routes...The good teams are very good in that 15-20 yard category....Very rarely successful teams are defined by the # of 40-60 yard throws.
