[QUOTE="Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau, post: 70367, member: 1017"] This whole play calling thing is a snowball rolling downhill. As we get more proficient at running the triple option, and are gaining beaucoup yards on the ground, guess what? More running plays will be called. There is no reason to pass if you can expect comparable success by just continuing to run. Running the ball is what we do, it is what Paul Johnson wants to do, it is what Paul Johnson believes in. Running the ball has several advantages for us. It fatigues the opposing defense. When it is successful, it tends to demoralize the opposing defense. It shortens the game, it rests our defense, it limits the opposing offense's possessions. In the perfect world, it scores lots of points. There is no denying that a highly successful drive on the ground eventually baits the defense into leaving a big passing play or some gadget running play available. The question the Coach will process will be : is it worth taking the risk associated with a thirty yard pass that I am pretty sure will be there, or to continue to grind it out with a rocket toss, midline, dive series that is working well and ought to gain us that same 30 yards? I think I know the answer. [/QUOTE]
