running the ball out of shotgun, I hate it I hate it I really really hate it.
Does anyone else watch football and thing “what in the actual fuck am I watching, what is the coach doing? I’m pretty sure I could go out there and call a better game than this soup brain doughnut” because same. Like I’ve said before in previous blogs, I may just be a dumb fan, but I’m a dumb fan that watches a lot of football. There are some plays I watch executed and just scratch my head clueless as to what that play call even was.
A top 3 of this instance in the running the ball from shotgun. You have your running back standing next to your QB, here is a great idea, let’s give him the ball from a complete standstill and run up the middle. I’m well aware this play works and sometime breaks for long runs but when they try and do it on the goal line its like…
At least run your play from the pistol and give your RB a full head of steam if you’re going to have him run head first into multiple 300+ pond professional athletes. It’s like trying to do the Bruce Lee one inch punch and not being Bruce Lee.
