Missing Play

[Harry]

I’m watching the Eagles game and the announcers noted as the Colts ran a QB sneak, “That’s the play of choice in today’s NFL.” I’m sure they were referring to short yardage. They also noted the reason was how effective other players pushing behind the QB has been. Considering the Cards’ awkward red zone play choice, it made me wonder how much does Murray’s fragility handicap the Cards?

IMO a lot

Can't QB sneak from the shotgun.

A ton. They can’t and won’t run the sneak with Kyler.

A club that we clearly don’t have in the bag.

Pretty easy to figure out. Check our 4th down conversion % and compare it to the rest of the league.

Doesn’t have to be a speculative thread when the answer you seek is available in objective data.

Just in the last 2 minutes of that Vikings vs Bills game last week there were a few QB sneaks.

Murray's fragility is no doubt an issue. I'm beginning to feel that he is injury-prone. He doesn't play when he is hurting like many qbs do. I'm not an Aaron Rodgers fan, but he is out there playing no matter whatever injury he has. So is Brady as was Rothlsiberger, etc.

I would love to see the Cards in short yardage or fourth and goal with JJ Watt in the lineup. Ball is snapped and JJ does not get the ball, but JJ tosses Kyler Murray over the goal line. I wonder what the NFL would do then about their aiding the running back terminology
BTW, when one the last time anyone has seen a running back leap over the line of scrimmage, I can't recall now that I think about it... is that considered illegal or what now?
