Message to Jeff Grimes: put a QB sneak in the playbook (citations included)
I am like a broken record on Jeff Grimes and his apparent lack of understanding of probabilities. One thing that has driven me nuts time and again is that we do not QB sneak, WHICH IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE PLAY IN FOOTBALL!

We have had numerous 3rd and 4th and 1 plays where Zach is lined up 6 yards behind the first down marker in the shotgun. In the crucial 4th and 1 play against Utah last year, Riley Burt (if memory serves) was 7 yards behind Zach Wilson. That just gives the defense a lot of time to clog holes. The 3rd and 1 from Saturday was bad not just because it was an RPO, and not just because it wasn't Ty'Son, but also because it should have been a sneak.

Sneaks are 20% more likely than any other play to convert a 3rd or 4th and 1 (85.5% are successful).

Don't believe me?

What does the Wall Street Journal say? https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-sneakiest-play-in-football-is-the-most-effective-1539102598

What about Yale? https://sports.sites.yale.edu/success-short-yardage-play-types-fourth-down

There's lots of solid evidence on this point. C'mon Jeff.
