We are nothing less than an exceptional 4ths down team, near the top in the country in both conversion percentage and volume. We have intentionally adopted a 3rd down philosophy of not going for the 1st down, but rather setting ourselves up to get a conversion, oftentimes on 4th down. This has resulted in us getting further down the field (ie redzone) more often in exchange for more 4th down turnovers (sometimes in the redzone).
