To all offensive coordinators in TD:
Are all plays designed to break for a TD?
Are they all designed to make 4+ yards?

That's original. I may use that in a movie I'm planning to shoot.

#1 wrong answer
#2 no one likes a smart arse! Try again with a real answer.
Now maybe someone with some experience and wisdom will know the correct answer and respond.
Believe it or not, the collective wisdom of the world is not held in the grasp of 20 year old know-it-alls!

I stand corrected. Punts are usually not designed to score a TD. But if the offense isn't trying to score on every play from scrimmage otherwise, they're not doing their job.

P.S.
After others have a chance to reply I will give you the answer that comes out of offensive planning meetings and is elementary to the development of an offensive game plan.

Thanks for playing.

As for the short side option. There is nothhing wrong with it. There are strategic reasons to use it. It's no different than any other play in that it can be called at awful times or at good ones.

I actually questioned this early in the season while watching Ware run 5-6 yards and go down, never even really attempting to break one. I was wondering if this was something he was coached to do so the defense could get more rest and the offense could continue grinding the clock and the opposing defense.
Then I thought, nah, no way.
right?

Reminds me of my favorite John Ferguson call ever :
"Here's a little counter reverse option to the right. The play works, but it gains nothing. "

Short and sweet answer...most teams HS thur Pro place more defenders to wide side of feild with the idea that there is more to defend. This leaves better numbers for the offense back to short side. Problem is the side line is the best defensive player on any team.

Huh?
Defenses are positioned in response to alignment.

Lombardi explains
Sorry, LTT, couldn't resist. My wife always likes to point out that when Spurrier was at UF it appeared that every offensive play was designed to score. I guess situation comes into play here. Some plays seem to be designed to achieve only the necessary yardage to continue a drive and nothing else.

Maybe all plays are designed to get a first down. I'd go with that.
