One Question/Observation

[dawgtired]

I'm really really glad to have moved back to the spread. Having said that, would it be too much to ask to get into a Power Formation inside the 10 yard line - with the QB under center - and run the ball? Spread offenses are notorious for farting out inside the red zone because the field shortens up.

I'm sure there are reasons why we don't have that play in our playbook, but man... we turn a 4th and 2 into 4th and 8 running Creer out of the shotgun. He has to pick up 5 yards just to get back to the line of scrimmage. It doesn't make sense to me. JMO, YMMV.

Yup, we have to do something. Hopefully TF will see the error of his ways after tonight.

If he hasn't seen it by now, I don't think he's going to see it.

Cookies for everyone if he does.

You folks drive me insane. We are running the ball with 3 freaking running backs in a power formation inside the 10!!!!!! It makes no difference to the play if Ross takes the snap 4 yards deep except that he doesn't run the risk of mishandling the snap or falling down like Moore did trying to get out from under the center. Do we really have this many football morons on the board?

Excuse me? Nice try, but weak as running the shotgun on 4th and 1. I hated Scelfo too.
