WHY THROW?
1. It has been proven than an inferior team can defeat and/or stay with a vastly superior opponent.
2. Ability to utilized the skilled, natural athletes irregardless of size.
3. Facilitates easy out-of-season development.
4. Excellent "catch-up" and under 2-Minute Drill Offense.
5. Advantageous in Tiring a Defense (Pass Rush).
6. Advantageous in Frustrating a Defense because they cannot consistently out-pursue it and cannot consistently gang-tackle it.
7. Less injury factor - can practice game-like situations often.
8. It is easier to pass block than it is to move the L. O. S.
9. Psychological advantage: Big Play Offense.
To us, we work hard at knowing WHEN to pass. So some coaches believe a pass is what you do on third down when two running plays have failed. Bunk! A pass is what you throw to a man who is open. And I want to declare that I have absolutely no fear about putting the ball in the air. A coach once said, "there are three things that can happen with a pass and two of them are bad" (incomplete or intercepted). Many coaches have a literal fear of throwing a forward pass five yards across the line of scrimmage. Yet many of these same coaches will allow their QB to shove a wobbly ball five yards backward on an option play.
I think it's far safer to have their QB zinging that thing into the chest of a receiver. Sure, it might get intercepted. Most often, however, it doesn't. And remember, a dropped pass is a dead ball, but a dropped lateral is as live as they come. So we don't fear passing. What I do fear is passing at the wrong time or to the wrong person.
