Sean Payton and short yardage plays

Just take a look at GB and Kuhn. We need to get the FB involved in the run game. Getting the QB, FB and even the WR's on reverses into the running game keeps these 3-4 LB's from totally reading the play and teeing off on our tailbacks.

On 4th and inches, we need to get a clue and do the sane thing - get up to the line quick and QB sneak. I bet the chances of getting the first on a QB sneak are well above 90%. Every sane team at high school level and above considers this, but instead we futz around and call a time-out and then pass the ball or call some other scatter-brained play after giving their D time to settle in. Fix this one little problem and we likely win last night's game and maybe 1-2 more from last year. Aargh!!!
