this seems to be right up Millies wheelhouse. If you are SU and Hunt is your qb why not do this everytime its 3/4 and short? if there is one thing hunt has shown is he is tough to tackle for no gain. i dont think you could stop the QB on play from the 2 more than 50% of the time unless you commit more than 2 guys . if nothing else you make teams prepare for it and you run it from different grouping as well.. this would have been a good set for the QB that left too I think or even Broyld or anyone who can throw somewhat
 
history has shown with our oline thats a backwards play
history has shown that we always turn into some 22 man human centipede jumboclusterf*ck preceded by 3 1/2 minutes of barking that causes us to jump offsides more than the defense instead of just lining up people from sideline to sidline and snapping the friggin ball
 
Tom Brady has converted how many sneaks in his career?

As much as I can't stand the pats, they just get it.

Handing the ball off when you need a foot is so ridiculously stupid. You're giving defenders a second to attack the line of scrimmage, while you go backwards. I'll never understand it.

While we're at it. goal line formations.
 
Anything other than a QB sneak on down and less than a foot is incorrect.
Bill O'Brien had this mindset as well and it works very well. The issue is that your QB has to have the wherewithal to get everyone lined up quick and then go. You cannot be snapping the ball with 5 seconds left on the play clock as the defense gets the advantage of getting set.
