Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 1186911, member: 338"] If your coaches are stuck in the "we're going to punt on 4th down no matter what" mindset, the play calling is likely to be different than if you have to get the first down. 4 plays to get 10 yards vs 3. I would think that unless you force people to operate in that environment, it's easy for them to regard it as some weird fantasy world heard of only in rumors. The sense I get from 2-minute drills is that the offense runs quickly but conventionally, with the only difference being that you "go for it" on 4th. There has to be another mode, where time isn't the issue, and you work toward manageable distance on 4th down instead of 3rd. [/QUOTE]
