Why gun run there?

[Maelstrom787]

Gun running needs to be a fairly prominent component of the offense, but on 4th and half a yard?

What are we doing?

 

[Natethegreat]

Agreed, hate that on short yardage.

 

[cymatica]

Perfect chance for a TE sneak. Ffs

Losing possession, and likely giving up a score. Don't expect last week's performance to be a yardstick for how good the team actually is. Remember the Saints are a very bad team.

Too early to be going for it on 4th down

Especially when you need half a yard

 

[tonyseahawk]

Seriously! Half yard to go and you hand it off 5 yards deep. F'n terrible call

It works, and it's important to open up the gun passing game... but that's about the worst time to ever do it. Unless youre running the read option, which they were not.

Don’t mind the mindset to do so… charbs banged up out of the gun is suspect.

 

[PateratoWilson]

Gotta trust the defense.

 

[DJ_CJ]

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Let’s go!!!

He’s down

This team hasn't shown it can execute it well.

True. I'm more of the idea that they should run their stuff until it gels, but god... not there. Never there.

 

[DJ_CJ]

Not one run under center. Why do we seem to resort to same offense even when changing coordinators.

And if it worked, everyone would be calling it "gutsy" and "unexpected".
