How do you build an offense that consistently moves the chains? Run well and convert third downs...that's the Fisher way. Higbee, Cunningham, and Spruce are the best third down options on this team. They all have the innate ability to fight for the tough yards needed to extend drives. While Gurley and Austin make this offense potentially explosive, these three are the ones I'd trust on the field when you HAVE to make a play. Dropped passes and missed assignments have caused this team to have one of the worst third down conversion rates in the NFL for years now. While Gurley and Austin have the ability to keep us out of third and long as frequently as it has been in the past, WE NEED TO CONTROL THE TIME OF POSSESSION for this team to be successful.
Now, if only we can fix the run and screen pass defense...
