Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 1909370, member: 5685"] Coaches are funny. They won't admit when they are wrong and then double down on it. The first three drives we tried to run the ball. We had a few short conservative passes on 2nd down. Then we were forced to throw on 3rd down. 1st down plays we ran it all three times for 1 total yard. 2nd down plays we ran it once, threw a short screen, and a short pass for 9 total yards. That resulted in a 3rd and 6, 8, and 11 (after a false start). In total we had 10 yards combined in three drives. We were too conservative. Does he really think that running instead of those two short passes changes things? We still would have had three 3 and outs. Then we have the 4th drive: Three 1st down plays all passes for 31 total yards. 2nd down was a sack. Maybe we could have run it here. 3rd down was incomplete. This drive resulted in 24 yards. That isn't great but it sure beats the 3.33 yard average of the previous three drives. [/QUOTE]
