Third Down Conversion Rate
Miami is currently 22nd in the NFL in 3rd-down conversions (40%). That number is much improved from last season but, alternatively, it still isn’t good. How can the change to a rookie quarterback make things better on third downs? Miami can enjoy the presence of a more effective RPO passer — which can allow Miami to key and read defenders after the snap and force them to be wrong in their decision making on third down. That can loosen up the box a bit and potentially see Miami enjoy more run lanes as well. The team will have to change up their offense a bit to get results, but you have to imagine this has been in the works behind the scenes for Miami as they’ve prepped for this change to begin with.
