Quote:It seems to me that it is just a stubborness thing. Gus wants to show that this team can produce a rushing TD at the goal line, with a RB, so he continues to force it when the team gets right at the goal line, over and over and over again, even when it is NOT working.

 

The Jags have 1 rushing TD in 10 games now, Yeldons in London, and it was a 28 yd run, not right at the goal line.

 

The TD pass to JT80 from the 5 yd line was great and you see all the teams with good TEs run it all the time at the goal line.

 

It just baffles me why they just keep on trying to run it from the goal line, mostly with someone other then Yeldon, when teams look like that is what they are expecting the Jags to do and are waiting for it.

 

Why don't they either have Bortles roll out or throw a jump ball to AR15 when he is 1 on 1?

 

Heck, instead of actually handing the ball off, why doesn't BB5 just pull it back and roll out to pass or run, whichever the defense calls for?

 

Why why why? BB5 had 19 TDs going into this game and I thought the tacks had a decent run defense. I just don't understand it either.

I don't think it's Gus being stubborn.  I think that's Olson trying to minimize the chance for mistakes when points are almost a sure thing.  My guess is that there was a conversation at half time, and when we got another shot at the end zone, we suddenly rediscovered the TE we spent a truckload of money on to do what he did last night.
