I honestly think this is the time of a game that shows what your OC or whomever is calling the plays is made of. - 3 runs up the middle?  Conservative as hell and/or ultra confident of their defense.- 3 running plays, with some misdirection?  Still pretty conservative.- 2 running plays with a 3rd down pass? Thinking a bit, more proactive.- 1st or 2nd down pass, while in run formation.  This guy wants to put the game away.I prefer the latter.   Go for the throat.  Don't get stupid and just throw the ball up in the air, but give the QB the ability to roll out and either run or pass for that first down.</blockquote>
