The Jumbo set QB Sneak

Can someone explain this to me?
If you're going to sneak on 4th and inches or right on the goal line, wouldn't it make more sense to operate from a set that spreads out the D, but keeps the QB under center?
One of those things I've never understood. Seems like it would be easier to sneak from a 4/5 wide set so you have 5 linemen going against 6. When you keep TEs and RBs, their defensive counterparts, can just stack the middle of the line.

Its like some sort of paradox.
Oh, we need to get an inch, but we only have 5 lineman, we are going to need more than that. Add in some guys. All hell, now its all bunched up, we need to spread them out. Repeat.

I don't get it either. Those extra 4 bodies you have near your QB don't help you any in blocking the play, and only serve to draw more defenders into the box.

I agree... but when you spread it out it creates space, and that can benefit both the offense and defense. You can blitz which gives D the advantage because they can send more people than the OL has to block. Overload the middle gaps, or any gap, etc. And instead of just having to get a few inches, you back the QB up and turn it into 4 yards. I mean you can be in the spread set, but whose to say that the D still wont send 8 people and just leave someone unblocked because they think its a draw? Yea its a guess, but most defensive calls are. And sometimes they guess right, other times they guess wrong.
Jumbo set goal line is man vs man. Just got to win the individual battles.
Just gotta go with what you think will get it done. Both of the choices have certain advantages and disadvantages. With Cam as my QB, i think i would do the jumbo sneak.

Keep it five wide but have the qb under center
