Short Yardage and Dennis Dixon

Re: Short Yardage and Dennis Dixon

This is NOT a hindsight post: at the time I wanted them to kick the FG.

Honestly. I was pissed that they didn't.

With the way the D has been playing we need any points we can get whenever we can get them.

You want to bring in a 195 lbs. QB off the bench for 4th and 1 to replace a 240-250 lbs QB? I think Dixon could be used. But, that was probably not the best situation for him.

Re: Short Yardage and Dennis Dixon

the reason why Ben is not that great on the qb sneaks is that you have to wait a second or two and allow the lineman to engage . Then you push forward trying to finding the soft behind your center-guard. A lot of qb's go immediately i don't think that is the right way to run the sneak.

Maybe Dixon could squeeze through a smaller hole? And maybe he's quicker?
