Compiled stats from the first 3 games using numbers from ESPN.com. I didn't include "kneel-downs" (doesn't really matter cause the games are over).
Pitt: Average 3rd Down to Go = 8.7 yards (5/13)
5 Yards or Less: (2/4) - 1 TD
6-9 Yards: (1/5) - 0 TD
10+ Yards: (2/4) - 0 TD
Buff: Average 3rd Down to Go = 7.9 yards (6/15)
5 Yards or Less: (5/7) - 1 TD
6-9 Yards: (1/4) - 1 Sack
10+ Yards: (0/4) - 1 Sack/Forced Fumble (Off Recovers)
Tenn: Average 3rd Down to Go = 7.8 yards (6/15)
5 Yards or Less: (4/7) - 1 Sack
6-9 Yards: (2/4) - 0 TD
10+ Yards: (0/4) - 0 TD
2006 TOTALS:
Average 3rd Down to Go = 8.1 yards (Conversion Rate 39%)
5 Yards or Less: (11/18) - 2 TDs, 1 Sack. (61% Conversion Rate)
6-9 Yards: (4/13) - 0 TD, 1 Sack. (31% Conversion Rate)
10+ Yards: (2/13) - 0 TD, 1 Sack/Forced Fumble (15% Conversion Rate).
We're making progress from game to game but this is something we need to continue improving on. We need to make things more managable for ourselves and take some of the pressure off of Daunte. It's kind of alarming that we've been in 3rd and 6 plus - 26 times already.
