Well, I asked and he answered. I just have no idea what it means.
Watch the Colts third-down defense: If Tennessee is going to have a chance, third down on offense is going to be a key. The Colts are likely to provide opportunity there. One of the league’s worst third-down defenses in 2008 is still 31st. The fine fellows at 18to88.com asked me about what opponents are facing on third down this year as opposed to last. It’s a yard less — this season opponents face an average of third-and-5.4 yards where last year it was third-and-6.4. (Thanks to Pete Newmann at ESPN Stats & Information.) Tennessee has not fared well getting into third and manageable. Can it Sunday night against a team that hasn’t kept people out of it?
Well crap. My guess was that it would be opposite because the run defense seems so much better. So that theory is blown all to hell. Thanks to Paul for running that down for me.
Kuharsky also breaks down Manning throws by personnel grouping.
This is a great read. The Colts are going three wide twice as much as any thing else.
