re: Miles's comments regarding 3rd and 8 are disturbing

I'm thinking it explains all those passes short of the first down marker: Les has already conceded that he's not going to make it.

He might not have already conceded it, but he's so deathly afraid of letting a QB throw downfield, he's willing to give up the ball to avoid doing it. So, he throws short in hopes that a receiver can break a tackle and get the first, but realizing that he probably won't and we'll have yet another 3-and-out, which is far, far better than risking any of our QBs throwing a pass downfield.

Sad, isn't it?
