I prefer Nick Saban's mantra - "Any possession that ends with a kick is a success, whether that's a PAT, a FG or a punt."

Designing plays to only make 4th down manageable won't get us as many kicks.

So the eye roll is that the majority of the 3rd down throws were past the sticks

"factually incorrect"? Is that non-triggering phrase for "idiotic"?

Even when factoring 4th down conversion, their rate isn’t great. And we’re

You'd rather punt?

I'd like to treat our downs situation normal and not rely on 4th as often

Novel idea: call a better 1st and 2nd down so you have a manageable 3rd down.

ARod thinks he's cutting edge on this, but it's not what the best teams do

You think he doesn't want to end up with 3rd and short and stay on schedule?

molodyets

Im sure he wants to in theory. But he relies too much on 4th down
