Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1138149, member: 628"] I'm more than a bit confused by the "everybody plays!" Little League rotation that we employ at tailback. One thing that Jim Boeheim does well is to ride a hot hand right into the MF'ing ground. I think we get too cute and follow the trends of the sport too much. It's "in" to let your lead RB only get 15 carries and have a deep rotation. But when two guys are killing it early on then give them the damn ball all the time. And I thoroughly agree about 3rd/4th downs. The problem is that a coach who's philosophy is to go for it whenever possible sees 3rd downs as 2 down situations. Our's is terrified of 4th downs so we get stuck creating worse situations for ourselves on that down. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, basically. But I've already given up on SS in that regard. He's just another HC who is scared of his own shadow when it comes to 4th down. [/QUOTE]
