But given time you can get a breakdown on play by play pretty quickly. You’ll notice the only time that the excessive runs (that are not necessarily yards beneficial) to kill clock is mostly in games where you are winning by 2+ scores in the 4th quarter.  For instance, this season it’s only happened 1 in 5 contests (Bears)You can’t rely on low 2 yard run pickups to burn clock (the one argument he brought up) unless it’s the last drive under 2 minutes or so and even then it might add 3 or 4 runs beyond a normal mix. A QB kneel or a few extra runs.He’s bringing an argument that games with 25+ rushes are to burn the clock and thus don’t show success rate in those 90%+ Wins I wholly disagree.Many More of those ~30 rushed are success driven than clock driven is my contention.  That “clock running” argument only holds in a fraction of games.  We all know you can’t commit fully to running if it’s a 1 score game 14-12 etc.. or we’re losing.How many games has GB been ahead by 2+ scores in the 4th quarter over the last 5 years?  A fraction maybe. The Clock burning argument is at best a fraction of influence. I wish we had this problem, right now we can barely stay in the game.</blockquote>
