"Quick Hit" FB Dive

[VegasPackFan]

If I see that play one more time I will hunt MM down.

thats the second time i remember it

and i remember it didn't work either time, and both had me baffled

[VegasPackFan]

Second time you remember but the last time it was run two in a row against Carolina on the goal line for the exact same results. At crunch time today, he pulls it out again. Same results.

3rd and inches go QB sneak. If not that, roll out. Why give it to our 6th best runner? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expectng different results :P

Honestly, even though that play didn't work out, I was glad MM went for it.

i think we all are. he showed some balls

but them he showed a lack of brains by calling that play

The call that bothered me alot was the pitch back to grant. Basically Rodgers pitched it straight back to him and all he did was run right into a wall.

I hate the FB run..You have to sneak in that situation..Rodgers could have sneezed and gotten the foot that they needed. Has the sneak ever not worked this year?

yup. we can't get one yard against a goal-line defense. don't know why he doesn't understand that. he had that crap slapped back into his face a few games ago. duh!!

I did not like going for it on 4th down. We were up 6 points...IMO, you punt and pin them back so they have to go the length of the field to score the go ahead score...as well as waste more clock so when we go down for the go ahead FG, that might be the ball game.

If you are only up 3 points, then I would agree to go for it there.

I don't know about using a QB sneak instead of an FB dive. I guess the dive is a little slower to develop, so gives time for the D to solidify the middle.

But honestly, when you're going against a couple of really good DT's with an interior line that you're not sure can get a good push, is that really the play you want?

Um, like we did against Carolina? On their 2yd line with 2 minutes to go?

No, I think I'll give it to the O on 4th down, thank you very much.

That is MM new little play the last few weeks. Pitch back and run up the middle....It worked against Carolina, but hasn't worked since!


The fullback play is wonderful isn't it!!!!Thing is Grant was lined up in a position that he wasn't even a threat...HMMMM

Short memories on the board tonight. This dive at one point was six for six in short yardage, while everyone was complaining about long developing zone runs in short yardage.

Of course, its streak does seem to be over.

This play has actually worked many times this year before the last few games where it was called and didn't work. The times when it hasn't worked it was the wrong time to call it.
