1st down on the 1. You have one job

Amidst all of the tv and board second guessing here is what it comes down to.

And it’s the same thing in baseball when people ask why you threw that pitch. And I’ve been there

At some point you are who you are. You play the season. You get to that moment right? And you throw your best pitch. Curve al. Fastball to the corner. Whatever. In this case you have 4 plays to gain 1 yard.

You know what I say? I say if we have four shots to run straight ahead and we can’t get in the end zone running between the tackles four times for one yard? Then we don’t deserve to be in national champions.

And I can actually live with that We are playing a physical game. We are in a turf war. And it’s big man on big man. This why you run those trench drills. Let’s do it. They win you shake their hand. We win we go to overtime.

And what do you do? You get cute. For 1 yard. You make your running back go 9 yards to get 1. I don’t like that ratio do you?

Another tried a handoff off guard. A blast play. Stuffed. Mmm k. Let’s try a qb sneak in 12 personnel. Shoot we can make the rb in it a DT and he can shove the qb over Leinart style. Sark was there for that. That didn’t work? Ok hand to the rb between center and left guard. You telling me we aren’t at the goal line yet? Fine. . Sneak again or some elephant package. An opening somewhere Will burst.

But nope. Let’s toss sweep out of shotgun which means we start 6 yards back. Have to catch the ball then make a slow pitch to the left. Ball floats in the air. Whole time defenders see the direction and have time to shed blocks. And by the time he gathers it and takes a couple steps to cut up field? Blocked at the turn.

sark just amazes me. 1st down on the 1.

oh and your qualifications? Delaware state faghorn? Go play with San Clemente. You both enjoy the same hole
