They should have used Young on the 3rd and 1 instead of pitching it to Morris.
I was hoping a roll out/run by RGIII going left with Young and TW sealing off the edge -- that would have to have been good for the 6 inches we needed. Young would have been a good choice too. I was actually wondering whether they would give Keiland Williams a shot in short yardage too.

Young reminds me of Jerome Bettis. And not because they have the same number.

I was expecting a FB dive there.

Why don't we have Darrel Young carrying the ball more? I think he might be as effective as Morris on the zone read and from tackle to tackle.

That 3rd and short play calling is constantly an issue. Maybe it's trickery, maybe it's just closing your eyes and pointing at the 3rd and short play calls in the playbook, but there has GOT to be something better than a pitch, 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage in hopes of getting the first down.

Agreed. Methinks sometimes Kyle gets too cute.

Agreed. Just knuckle down and push them back.

On third and short I'd like to see more just running at the other team then trying to run around them.

That's why I don't understand. You've got big Morris, Young, hell in a worse case scenario, you could even use Cooley. But I just don't get the pitching thing. You got big guys back there, let them do their job.

Mike Anderson style? Why not?
