...I know, I know...not a real sexy offense. But, that leads into my question...if you're having success running the ball down their throats with something as basic as the unbalanced power-I, why would you ever come out of it?
Are guys so scared of being accused of "going to the well" one too many times...or being called a "one-trick pony"...or do they feel the need to just show they can diversify their offense - even when they don't have to? I'd rather be called any of those things and still be called a "winner" personally.
For me, it's as simple today as it was in 1997 when I was calling the offense...one night (at Wolfson) I ran power right five times in a row, for never less than six yards per carry. After the fifth carry, the QB looked to the sideline, and I yelled at him "What do you THINK we're going to run?! They haven't stopped it yet!"
It used to be that you had to be willing to be boring...I guess maybe that's why the ol' wing-T had a heyday...nowadays, it seems everybody thinks they've got to prove they're the next Gus Malzahn or something...if you can't hit a fastball, I have no reason to throw you a curveball, right?
What am I missing about today's game fellas?
