It's Fools Gold because you have to do it but are you converting a lot of 3rd and Shorts or 3rd and Longs. Whatever the Case maybe your getting it done and it is a Good Sign moving forward that puts pressure on Defenses that know you can move the Yard Sticks at will.

Sunday Defenses are really good for the most part and their aim is to try to get you and keep you in 3rd and Long as the Odd for you getting 3rd Down Conversions decrease. Anything 3rd and less than 5 is good for the Offense. Anything 3rd and 6 or longer is working in favor of the Defense. Its is a Passing League but if your in 3rd and Shorts all day and you have a Top Run Game the Advantage is definitely in favor of the Offense. The Game is trying to dictate their Hand and force your will onto them and Vice Verse.

The Best on Sunday at converting 3rd and 1 or 3rd and a Three River Mile is sponsored by on 3rd Down O-Coordinator give the Defense something not expected and not exactly TRICKERATION but something so far outside of the 3rd Down Box its in the 3rd Down Box.

The Top 10 TEAMS on SUNDAY 3rd Down Conversions

        Team     Made     Attempts   Pct.

1. STEELERS 19...34.... 55.9%

2. GANG GREEN 14...26...53.8%

3. ARROWHEAD 16...30...53.3%

4. BISON City 11...21...52.4%

5. BOLTS    15...30...50.0%

6. COWBOYS 11...23...47.8%

7. RAMS   11...24...45.8%

8. BIRD GANG 15...34...44.1%

8. TEXANS   15...34...44.1%

10. DIRTY BIRDS 10...23...43.5%

The Steelers have been in 3rd and Long a lot this Season due to being the 3rd Most Penalized Team in Penalties and Yards from the Penalties which isn't anything to write to the 'Burgh about. Nonetheless Big Ben and the Young Money Crew have sliced up the Orange Crush and Gang Green on Defense as they couldn't get the Steelers off the field on 3rd Down. All this with a Running Game that is 30th out of 32 Teams on Sunday.

Gang Green 3rd Down Stats could be misleading considering 75% of those Conversions were in Week 1 vs the Bills. The Chiefs are 0-2 despite 3rd on 3rd Down Conversions which tells me they are not scoring in the Red Zone and the Chiefs Defense is stopping no one.

Rivers and the Bolts have been efficient for the most part. The Cowboys have Turnovers and Droughts by the Quarters in the Game that Doom them all the Time. Sam Bradford and the Rams have been getting it done with RB Jackson and WR Amendola.

The Bird Gang has 9 Turnovers in Two Games but 2-0 largely due to the Offense's 3rd Down Conversion Rate when it matters at the End of Games on the Winning Drives.

Both the Texans and Dirty Birds are Explosive in Different Ways as the Texans on the Ground with Foster and Tight or even Dre 305 via Air. The Falcons by TE Gonzo or the Outside in Julio and Roddy. That is a Plethora Weapons at their Disposal for Signal-Callers Schaub (Texans) and Matty Ice (Dirty Birds).
