Logic:

- The shove gets let’s say an average of 2 yards/carry.

- Lots of shoves: I think the safest time to do it is 2nd and 4. So we can do a quick checkdown to Brown, the TE, Gainwell, QB scramble. Then shove it each down until you get the pretty much garunteed 1st.

- Stamina/willpower: The defense will wear out quickly from trying to stop the shove or just give up and not try, making for easy additional shoves. They may also get emotional and which takes their focus away from the game.

- Variations: When we are predictably shoving each down, we can run variations of sweep plays, thus forcing the defense to take half steps away from the pile and making the shove easier. As we have seen historically, defenses are unable to defend both the shove and whatever else play we run away from the shove.

- First down shove: This could depend on how the defense reacts. A normal shove would make it 2nd and 8 if the defense tried to just defend the shove. But a sweep from here could be successful/big play if the defense only defended the shove. If the defense spreads out to defend a sweep, we could shove and get 2nd and 6 or 5.

    Terribly boring. I’d eventually lose interest and just look at the score.
