No "but"s about it. I’m glad they’re staying conservative with it though. That way, our opponents will never quite know when it’ll show up. And then boom, we drive 80 yards and score. Such a lovely feeling, having an offensive plan that works!

but it’s no panacea, you can’t fall in love with it. When it doesn’t work, you give your defense very little rest before they have to get out on the field again. Smitty & Co. have picked their spots pretty well so far, they’re wise to use it judiciously. If Aristotle could be a football fan, I’m sure he’d approve!

And that clearly teaches us that sometimes even moderation should be used only in moderation.

Let that bake your noodle for a little while.

I understand using it sparingly … BUT DON’T BE AFRAID TO USE IT!
