Quarterback Sneak

[onlyonenow]

Here is something in SI that really is interesting as regards the Quarterback Sneak.

And lays out a very solid argument to use it. One we rarely do.

On 3rd and inches it can be an effective play, but I don't know how I feel about 100 million dollar investment getting piled on by huge linemen.

As much as Romo has been hit i am sure he rather have one on top of him rather than running at him full speed and trying to drive him into the turf. The Qb sneak for 3 and inches is a part of the game we don't use and cost us many times.

Or Maybe its because the last few years we've had a small and crappy OL that couldn't get a push if we bribed the DL to play soft?

And prior to 2009 we had Barber to get those 3rd 1 with ease. Which gave us no reason to throw our best QB in to the fire.

so why not in the last 3 years do we hardly ever try? I think this was Red Ball blind area. Of course I doubt the nay sayers here bothered to even read the article.

Tom Brady does it quite often.
