[QUOTE="ibeattetris, post: 674911, member: 1175"] Because more drives for yourself means more drives for your opponent. So just by way of adding more drives you inflate the score of both teams. An offense who gets the ball 13 times and kicks 13 field goals is not better than an offense that gets the ball 5 times and scores 5 touch downs. That’s is an extreme example, but the point remains. I am also not trying to say that running more drives is bad. I personally believe that if you believe you have the better team, you should run more drives to ensure luck and random chance is minimized. Counter to that, if you are worse, you should try to conserve drives and try to allow luck to work in your favor. One of my big gripes about CPJ was he tried to play ball control in every game which made it a challenge when luck was against us early. He fact that CDP didn’t try to get us into the 12-14 drives per game area this year is a good thing because I think it shows he realized our defense doesn’t have the depth for that yet (they struggled enough as it was late in games). I would definitely look to see us having more drives next year though. [/QUOTE]
