Do you agree that

[3rd and long]

Yes our D is not as good, but consider that three consecutive series we gave them short fields after INT's. That was a big OL and our D was on the field a long time against a good offense. Say if we don't have those three int's, maybe one of those possesions we take it down and punch it in, and the other two at least punt and make them play the entire field. Maybe our D has a chance to catch some wind and make some plays.

Yes our D is not as good, but our offense has got to give them some help. How demoralizing is it to just come off the field and have to run right back out after a turnover?

This year we're gonna take our lumps on D because of youth and the complexity of the defense. There is a huge learning curve but the payout is large.
