Why do you think teams choose plays that are proven to be less successful?

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

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

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

Bohanon QB sneak probably works 99% of the time

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

Sep 20, 10:06am

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

boctabulous

Sep 20, 2:37pm

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

mvtoro

Sep 20, 2:59pm

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

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

Sep 20, 4:11pm

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

Sep 20, 4:21pm

And it works well with literally every QB.

Pride, boredom, stupidity. Idk

You really think so? I don’t.

I think you’re oversimplifying a multifactorial decision, and are probably totally unaware of some of those factors.

mvtoro

Sep 21, 3:31pm

Definitely unaware of. It seems everyone is unaware of. I would like to hear

boctabulous

Sep 21, 3:38pm

if the opposing defensive knows you're going to throw every down it gives them an advantage. You have to "keep

HarlemCoug

Sep 21, 3:46pm

Eh, I know the eagles will qb sneak on every 3rd or 4th and inches. Still works

boctabulous

Sep 21, 4:22pm

So why don't all NFL teams do it? They're dumb and you're smart?

HarlemCoug

Sep 21, 4:27pm

For about the 4th time now, i have no clue. They should though. Its by far the

boctabulous

Sep 21, 4:33pm

The Eagles have some different factors than other teams. Do you think it’s equally effective with Andy Dalton as it is

mvtoro

Sep 21, 6:09pm

Yep. Was watching a rams game a while back and they put up a stat that showed

Sep 21, 6:44pm

So I think you’re drawing some conclusions from data that aren’t founded. I believe Stanford is 16 of 16. But that

mvtoro

QB sneak works way more often than any other play. Bottom line. Fact

boctabulous

Sep 21, 8:36pm

If you say so. Still doesn’t mean every team should run it every time.

mvtoro

Sep 21, 9:36pm

Ok. Just more often.

boctabulous

Sep 21, 9:38pm

That’s probably true for a lot of teams.

mvtoro

Sep 21, 9:41pm

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

spidercoug

Sep 20, 10:08am

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

LeonMarek

Sep 20, 10:26am

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

NYC and Japan

Sep 20, 11:16am

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

LeonMarek

Sep 20, 2:22pm

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

boctabulous

Sep 20, 2:38pm

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

stansburycoug

Sep 20, 11:54am

What? How rare do you think this is?

HarlemCoug

Sep 20, 10:20am

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

Traveling Coug

Sep 20, 11:10am

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

ImuaKahuku

Sep 20, 11:28am

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

here's to hoping

Sep 20, 11:35am

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

StoneyCurtis

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

TheLoneCougar

Sep 20, 11:59am

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

BulldogCoug79

Sep 20, 1:54pm

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

boctabulous

Sep 20, 2:39pm

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

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

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