I suspected this but heard a segment on it today that confirmed this. Russ ranks #34 out of 34 in 3rd down passing efficiency at 40.6%. That is why we cannot control the clock and move the sticks (in part at least). 3rd and long is contributing as well, but is what it is. Russell is no longer Mr. Clutch when we need him to be.
