It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The QB sneak is not a play call, it is an always-available audible for Brady to "call" by goosing the center. If no sneaks are happening, it is only because Brady isn't getting favorable reads for them.
agree with regard to Burkhead
disagree with respect to Gillislie
drives me nuts when they pass on 3rd and 1

id still take the %I'd rather they pass on 3rd and 1. Running on 3rd and 1 seems to be an automatic 4th down.
Hmm. I dunno. Seems odd they were run constantly before and never now.

By the end of the year your tune will have changed.We don't have the type of back that can grind out third and short with any consistency. Burkhead's money should have gone to Blount. We already have two other guys who have the same skillset in White and Lewis who are both better than he is. And they could have found a guy of Gilleslee's talent level for far less money. The RB position was badly mismanaged this offseason.
i wasn't referring to this year, but "generally" you have a better %. 4th and inches is better than 4th & 1 and punting unless you're down late or in no mans land.So far this year, that means you'd rather pass.
Pats this season are:Do you know what our stats were for 3rd and long? They seemed to have less difficulty converting those.
That's on McDaniels for calling the "bad run blocking" play.It's because of that ****ing Gillislee play they keep calling. They tell him to run into a brick wall and get surprised when he doesn't break through.
You might have been facetious there, but this is EXACTLY what's happening.That's on McDaniels for calling the "bad run blocking" play.
You are aware Brady can, and does, audible as he sees fit, right?You might have been facetious there, but this is EXACTLY what's happening.
Why the FECK would Skippy run Gillislee - or Blount, or Corey Dillon, or Sam Cunningham, or Jim Nance - straight up the middle, where THE ENTIRE DEFENSE is waiting for him, and ESPECIALLY behind the relatively lightweight interior trio of Thuney, Andrews & Mason? Those 3 do not, and will not ever, gain enough push to make any cracks in those brick walls.
Sweeps, stretches, off-tackles etc. are the type of short-yardage runs that will produce much, much more success because of the athleticism of both the C/Gs and the RBs.
Right; but I bet those audibles usually change one pass play to another, or a pass play to a running play, or a running play to a pass play. I'd be surprised if Brady ever audibles out of an A-gap run and into a C-gap run, for example.You are aware Brady can, and does, audible as he sees fit, right?
Brady has clearly audibled from run to run throughout his career. So if you're going to blame McDaniels, you should also blame Brady for not seeing it at the line of scrimmage.Right; but I bet those audibles usually change one pass play to another, or a pass play to a running play, or a running play to a pass play.

I still blame Skippy first, then Bill, then Brady, then the OL, then the RB.
Except that Brady has said the QB sneak is in play but they haven't gotten the right look.because Josh is getting too damn fancy for his own good and overcomplicating a simple play.
it's 1 yard. I dont care that the other team knows what's coming. You line up with Brady under center, have the center fall forward and Brady follow right behind him. Guaranteed 1 yd every time.
Basically at the moment Josh and being bad Josh and trying to outsmart teams for no reason
