It frustrates me when they do run on 1st down. It seems like the other team has 8-9 men in the box or their big run stoppers on the DL and GB gets only a yard or two. I would rather they have a short pass on 1st and run on 2nd.
Agreed.
As Bill Walsh learned, you run on 1st down, you get 4 yards and have 2nd and 6. You pass on 1st down and get 7 yards, you have 2nd and 3.
Bill Walsh and I agree that 2nd and 3 is better than 2nd and 6. And that, my friends, is one of the things that made the WCO so successful.
