Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 3165467, member: 5312"] While I am not a FB expert, it is known that a "ball control" offense does two things: (1) it keeps your offense off the field so they can't score points, and (2) it keeps your defense on the field so they can get tired. It is harder to use a passing offense to achieve this because the time of possession is too short - even if they score points. The other team can rotate defensive players but they are putting in the "twos" who are not as good as the "ones" or else they would be starting. You do not see a pure passing team as one of the top teams - you have to have several strong running backs to succeed. [/QUOTE]
