00:00 On the fourth down, is there any thought to QB sneaking there?
00:04 As opposed to running to the line?
00:06 On the fourth down?
00:08 Go line.
00:10 Yeah, go line.
00:12 Yeah, you can QB sneak it there.
00:14 A lot of our offense we run from the gun.
00:16 But when I have an offensive line, we're on a one-yard line,
00:19 and I have a back that's going to score more touchdowns,
00:21 they're bound to see me, big back, we should have a big dog.
00:25 Do you have confidence in Phil to run QB teams?
00:29 I mean, this is 2015, but even since you've been here,
00:31 I think he has like one successful play.
00:33 He has one since I've been here.
00:35 But it's something that he hasn't done a lot in the past.
00:37 And so, I mean, it's not just a little ball-hand play, it's a skill,
00:41 to run a QB sneak.
00:43 And I'm not saying that Phil can't do it, but he just hasn't done it a lot.
00:46 And like I said, with Melvin in the back, I feel like that was a big step.
