That is one thing that seems to remain constant. Our screen game sucks.

They work about as well as rushing the ball in a more traditional format does, it just looks worse when they fail. Failed screen looks like more of a failure than getting stuffed on a run does.

You need to run them out of the majority of your personnel looks, as well, to keep the defense honest and guessing.
