[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 624896, member: 265"] It usually doesn't. On short yards you go with quick hitters. Same on the goal line. I remember a story from Bill Curry. Coach Dodd was giving him coaching lessons on Monday about each game. After his second game, the following ensued: Dodd: "What did I tell you you should do when the team got to the 5 yard line?" Curry: "You said we should run the ball." Dodd: "And what did you do?" Curry: "I called a pass." Dodd: "And what happened?" Curry: "Well, we didn't complete it." Dodd: "And then what happened?" Curry: "We didn't score." Dodd: "So. Who was right?" Curry: "(Deep sigh) You were, coach." Yep. If you are on the 5, forget passing the ball. If it's third and 1, forget passing the ball. The other side will get the tendency, but so what? Their problem is [I]stopping it[/I]. The remarkable thing is how hard it is to get coaches to quit overthinking short yardage situations. [/QUOTE]
