Can we talk about going in backfield on 2nd and short, why telegraph a pass on a down and distance where they should be expecting the run?

I blame the non-scoring drive on this playcall
I do too.

Even if you don't run it, why would you go empty backfield on a 2nd and 2. Coaches live for 2nd and short because it opens up so many possibilities and it keeps the defense guessing.

So what do we do?

Eliminate those possibilities by telling the defense we have no intention of running.

I'll never understand why we do this so often.

They have tried that little bootleg keeper 3 times now, and it has failed miserably 2 of those times. Hope they keep it up.

It blows my mind, man.

It's been a Garrett staple since he's been in Dallas.
