Yes. The short-side of the field has less defenders - so counter-plays to short-side allow you to greatly outnumber defenders with blockers.

Singleton isn't running, every run he is hesitant looking for something that isn't there. I would play him on third down only from here on in and run Allen.
That was a nice scramble.
Observation on Singleton. He goes down easy, especially when hit around his feet. He seems like he's hitting the hole slow.
DDS hits the QB, and Elliot Washington with the pick of the wounded duck
Or give Cam Wallace, Corey Smith, or Q. Martin a shot. A message needs to be sent to Singleton.
At this point, I’d like to see what one of the young backs can do with the other first string players.
Yup. Again: he's just a fast runner. That's it.
His vision is not good. He has no elusiveness. He doesn't have much power, constantly goes down to initial contact. No ability to "create".
This is worrying. The offense just looks like it’s bad this year.

That’s a pick 6 vs Ohio state or Oregon

Drew needs to take off from the pocket after a 4 count in his head like that last time... To often he sits back there forever and then throws it late - long after the secondary receiver broke open resulting in a throw to a now covered secondary receiver. You know what they say.... nothing good happens throwing late over the middle.

You mean when he set the record for the longest streak of passes without an INT?
My guess is that he's out there because he is phenomenal at blocking and very solid at picking up the blitz.
They have continually been given great field positions and done next to nothing against.... Villanova.
Won't win in two weeks unless something changes.

It was a passive throw. I think his vision of the DB being nearby might have been blocked. Not sure.
This team has so.much work to do over the next 2 weeks ... They are not a good football team at this point. Lots of self scouting by the staff on play calling and so many things to fix on offense
