Not if your blockers are executing and creating holes.


Holes are smaller with more bodies packed tightly in together. This is simple math.

The offense is choosing to crowd the people up because they feel it gives them the advantage.


The advantage for what besides short yardage?

Pulpwood summed it up in better in more detail. Read it twice for better understanding/

Bad math.

They pack them in tighter so they can create holes easier. Double teams, pulls, etc. Because again...it's all a numbers game.

That short yardage is good yardage.

Every team will have this goal as a priority on offense: Establish the run.

Every team will have this goal as a priority on defense: Stop the run.

Every carry a back gets isn't going for 6-7 yards. Most of them are short yard carries, and then they get a carry here and there where they are able to break away.

You do realize that being an Alabama fan, I'm extremely familiar with this style of offense right? I mean it's the style of offense I've basically watched Alabama play my entire life until recently.
