The Sneak Revisited

Punting might have worked but it would have been too pussy of a move. It was a bit long for a sneak. Also, other than the 3rd down run by McGrew, we had been gashing them in the 2nd half.Houhusky said:Going for it was the correct call.
QB sneak on a long 1.5 yards was fucking retarded.
Not understanding that it was a tie game late in the 4th, you have 3 time outs, your defense is shit, and the play was probably going to determine the game so you try to draw them offsides and then call a timeout and make sure everyone is on the same page for a pleasant/mcgrew handoff after the timeout is extra special retarded -
It only makes some sense if you’re planning on running wide and looking to have the WRs seal the edge on a defense looking to over commit to a sneak or middle runRoadDawg55 said:
Small issue, but why have the WR’s so far inside?huskyhooligan said:
I'm surprised their safeties aren't 20 yards off the line of scrimmage. -

JFC I hate the tight sets with this shitting OL. They can barely handle normal blocking assignments, let alone the complications that occur when you pack everyone on the box. -
I think you’re spot on in regards to leveraging cadence and a timeout in that situation … the sneak is the wrong play callHouhusky said:Going for it was the correct call.

I think if you’re efficient offensively then going for it makes sense and if you do then I’m probably looking to throw on some kind of run route or boot action … particularly given our tendencies
That said I don’t think going for it was a slam dunk … doing so IMO is an indictment on one’s thoughts on the defense to get a stop
Big picture is you can break apart in this single play all the different ways this team is poorly coached -
Lake thought the OL was the strength of the team. No wonder McDonald and Trice were doing well in practice.Houhusky said:

If they had run the wild Columbian and given to Bynum in the fly sweep he'd still be running. I was screaming at my TV for it, but I've been screaming for McGrew to hand off to the fly sweep for two games now.

I don’t think he’s allowed to. Probably get buried on the depth chart again if he tried to hand it off to the fly sweep receiver. I mean, I can only assume based on playing time being divvied out to favorites instead of based on merit at several positions.chuck said:If they had run the wild Columbian and given to Bynum in the fly sweep he'd still be running.

We haven't run a bootleg all season. With Morris' diminutiveness and deficiencies, the one thing he can do decently well is throw on the run. Amazing we haven't tried that, especially with our porous OL. Don is so fucking dumb. They're all dumb.Tequilla said:

Then a lot of what you do has to be running stretch / off tackle that gets the defense flowing one way and susceptible to play action going the other way -
According to Lake it always "works in practice" so they'll keep doing it in games.
