I don't know why he would call an inside running play 4 times in a row at first and goal, but he did it all last season too. And with a single back set. I know it's preseason, but my problem is that we did it all last regular season as well.

I guess that's why the team didn't score much last year. (5th PPG, ESPN - NFL Football Statistics and League Leaders - National Football League)
