1st down: Portis runs right 9yds...

I'd probably still be too amazed at a good run to the right side to think about what happens next.

Seriously though, either a draw play to Betts (which worked well for us last year, but probably not so much on a 4th and 1), or a PA - defense will be looking at Coooooley when suddenly Davis rolls out of a block, catches the ball 5 yards past scrimmage and takes it all the way down for the TD. :cheers:

I would go to the double TE with a T Formation in the backfield. This is a formation that Seattle used quite a bit. I wouold then have JC audible to whatever side has more room. So, either Betts or Portis depending on the direction. This will give us that split second to get a quick yard. Symmetry keeps the defense guessing.

I'm going to break the mold and say punt, but let me explain my reason.

I don't want to risk giving the Giants the ball on the 36 yard line. All they have to do is get about 5 yards and they are in good FG position and I don't want to give them the chance to strike first.

Plus, they are the defending champs and playing at home so they have plenty of motivation so I don't want to give them any more momentum.

Now, if we were about 15 yards further up field I would most likely go for it.

You don't need to explain. It's the right decision.

Its either going to be a Portis run right up the middle, or a QB sneak.

Bingo...that is why you should sneak on 3rd and 1 if you are planning on going for it on 4th. We'd either pick up the yard, or at least half of it on a sneak on 3rd down. I get mad when someone passes on 3rd and 1, and then goes for it on 4th down.

If that is true and Jim call two pass play back to back and we only need one yard. I call for new play calling
