Extra DBs Don't Faze Sanchez
Sanchez Good on Third Down
Cushing is Rare Texans LB Pick
A Lot to Learn for No. 1 Overall QB

Much of the reason Mark Sanchez had success on third down was his ability to pick apart the Texans' defense when they brought in extra defensive backs (sub small package). Houston held Sanchez and the Jets' passing game in check in its base 4-3 defense.

So what should Lions fans expect from Matthew Stafford? Well not much the first year. The last five quarterbacks taken No. 1 overall have not done much in their first season, each throwing more interceptions than touchdowns, with the exception of Carson Palmer who held a clipboard his entire rookie year.
