Ok,
Since we always find ourselves in 3rd and long, why don't we practice those situations? I used to go to practice all the time to watch, and every time they practice plays, they are doing 1st and 10, 2nd and 5, etc....

i think Nick should just mold his practice methodology to practice a bunch of 3rd and 15, 3rd and 20, 4th and 1, 4th and 5, etc.... also 2 point conversions!
 
the reason why we are always in third and long is because of the oline/playcalling

A) penalties, look at the drive against houston, we had a 2 and 3 or something like that and then we had 3 penalties for 24 or 25 yards
B) protection in run/pass goes to hell
C) throwing the ball every down
 
i know WHY we are always in 3rd and long.... but i'm saying we should practice for it since we always find ourselves there... no point in being in denial.

i know you know, it might be a good idea but like last week our avg 3rd down was 14 yards or something like that

the defenses are going to set up not to let us get it, so daunte is going to have to go to ronnie or someone and maybe get 10 yards

Not to mention alot of times our 3rd downs are 3rd and 20, due to stupid penalties.

exactly

i know what the original poster is saying, but you really cannot practice such long plays

the defense knows how far you have to go, and are not going to give you a defense that will have much of a chance for any play to gain 15 -20 yards

Yep, they set up for the long pass, and were only able to dump off the short pass.

I think they practice the 3rd down plays, but can't execute them due to being backed up so much. Seems like the 3rd down play works well when were in the last few minutes of the game.

agreed start running the ball 12 carries for ronnie aint squat!:shakeno:
 
Start practicing to stop getting stupid penalties and giving up sacks that put us in 3rd and long! Forget practicing 3rd and long, that's a defeatist attitude and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
 
is anyone else but me, tired of hearing Nick start every PC with "..well'p, we had a good days practice.."...PLEASE, have some B-A-D practices, and some good games!!!
 
The key is to practice 1st and 2nd down so we dont see ourselves in 3rd and long situation
