Edit: As for the big hits whitner really hit someone hard in the back after a catch. The goldson one you mentioned on jennings... cant think of too many others
3rd downs wasnt much of an issue that game
a lot of those we missed on some 3rd and short - jacobs will fix that
but most were in the 2nd half to run down the clock
we had 22 dirst downs overall in that game (more than packers) i think 14 came from pass while 8 came from run
we definitally improved in that area whatever stats say as for RZ we were 2/2 on touchdowns so that was great to see
