unless u have a crazy defensive line is it the stupidest defense in ftball. it amazes me how many coordinators fall in love with it on 3rd in 9-15.

It's a complete joke to me. It pretty much guarantees a score for the offense.

Tthere is nothing wrong with the 3 man rush on 3rd and long; especially 3rd, and 15. Sometimes its best just to drop 8 in coverage, and force the opponent to throw underneath or into coverage.
Unless you can get no pressure at all on the QB, in which case you just wasted three guys when you might just as well have dropped 11 into coverage.There is nothing wrong with the 3 man rush on 3rd and long; especially 3rd, and 15.

You guys handed us a loss in a bowl game not so long ago because Jim Tressel squats when he pees and loved that safe-play bullshit.

My opinion is on third and long you rush at least 4 if not 5 and try to force the qb into a hot route...
crap I hate to do this, but what you are experiencing is confirmation bias. It's used because most of the time it's successful. But the times when it's not successful stick out to people, and you get confirmation bias as a result and people in general believe "safe" type defenses don't work.
There is a reason that guy getting paid millions uses it - he knows it gives him the best chance. Nothing is every 100%, they'd be using it if so. If there is a mistake with using it, it's generally going into it too early.
