You can't have success as a football team if you don't have confidence to be able to get even 1 yard or a 3rd or 4th and short. It's embarrassing. We don't even try to run in the red zone. I would expect us to run a QB draw before any sort of tailback even sniffed the ball if I was the other team in the red zone. And we haven't even done that this year!
This might be what the league has been steering towards, but the decision not to carry a fullback when Scot says he's building a strong, tough,"know you played us" kind of team is baffling. It's basically punting on short yardage runs all together in favor of bubble screens and slants.
