In fact, on all 4th and 2 plays in the since the 1998-1999 season, quarterback

sneaks were successful 89.7% of the time, greater than the 82.8% of the time for 4th and 1. Sneaks were rarer on 4th and 2 plays, happening only 29 times from between the 1998 and the 2015 season, but this shows that sneaks are not only successful for incredibly short yardage situations.

Here's my biggest gripe with Arod's play calling, 4th and inches, why are we

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

My guess is we don't trust the o-line and rbs to get push

spidercoug

10:00am

Agreed. Why not try the power I at least once?

Bohanon QB sneak probably works 99% of the time

stansburycoug

CB rule: if it is 3rd or 4th down and 3 yards or less, run 100% of the time

Jeremy

Do that and eventually you will get stopped almost 100% of the time.

Couldn't disagree more. 1 yard or less? sure. im passing on 3rd and 3 though.

How many times does 4th and inches come up in a season?

StantonMac

10:06am

Irrelevant. When it does come up, do a sneak. Pretty simple.

Why doesn’t every team always do a sneak on 4th and inches? Not rhetorical. There are probably reasons.

mvtoro

Some do. See the Philadelphia Eagles, or the Patriots when they had Tom Brady.

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

Most teams don’t, though. Why? Most teams don’t have Hurts, but Brady and Hurts are very different, so it’s not just QB.

mvtoro

And it works well with literally every QB.

Pride, boredom, stupidity. Idk

boctabulous

You really think so? I don’t.

mvtoro

And we are 8-10 on fourth down, so i dont get complaining

spidercoug

10:08am

yeah, its working. Everyone expects power running. 4th and short in shotgun?

LeonMarek

10:26am

Exactly. So many on CB obsessed with complaining about everything FB. Last year

NYC and Japan

11:16am

and a lot of our 4th down misses were power runs up the gut

LeonMarek

2:22pm

Not possible. We dont even had a lot of 4th down misses total so there cant be

boctabulous

2:38pm

Ya the post should.have been about 3rd and short not 4th. Good catch

stansburycoug

11:54am

What? How rare do you think this is?

HarlemCoug

10:20am

What? Did we run out of things to complain about that are not working well?

11:10am

I like the play they ran Romney to Romney down on the goal line a few years ago

ImuaKahuku

11:28am

That has bugged me as well. Hardly ever a qb sneak

here's to hoping

11:35am

Seems like A-rod often gets TD's, big yardage on 4th and short, is it because

11:45am

Do you really want to know why or are you going to gripe even if there is logic to it?

11:59am

Qb sneak with the big boys seems like would work 80% of the time

BulldogCoug79

1:54pm

That isn't even an opinion. Its just fact. Statistics are kept that prove it.

boctabulous

2:39pm

Agree 100% I see shotgun in those situations in the nfl often lead to 2 or 3

boctabulous

2:32pm

just looked up the data:

boctabulous

5:38pm

On 4th and 1 all plays total have a 65.7% chance of success. Passing plays have

boctabulous

Heck I have always wanted to see what happens if a team runs a qb sneak on 1st
