More fuel for the fire...When a HC calls for a RB plunge into the line on lst down, is he doing it 1) in hopes of actually gaining significant yardage; or 2) in hopes of making successive pass plays more successful by "keeping the defense honest?"

One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Both. Some threat of balance is always desired. However, the Derek Loville Effect should have taught offensive coaches that Defenses know when you don't have the goods.Originally Posted by Maxie the Taxi
Just as Defenses ignored Loville in the backfield for the 49ers, I am not sure the Packers have caused anyone to load up the box (other than end of game stalls) since Starks in 2010 (end of season).
Belichick is not the only D coach who ignores what a team doesn't do well.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
