Again...Yoo. Have you played the game? How confident can you be calling an audible if you're not POSITIVE that a Gun Scoop Option against a 4-4 defense doesn't compromise your FB's route. AND he KNOWS that.
Yes I know it's not something run in an NFL offense. Go with me.
Running what's by the book is one thing. Making a play when the called play breaks down is another.
But it can be the difference between winning and losing when your team is losing by less than 7 points.
