Easy answer to our short yardage probems.

They started off in shotgun with the d-ends spread out for a pass rush. Burrow came up under center and everyone on defense packed it in tight to play the run and on the snap they pitched it to Chase for a first down. 

That obviously proves that the defense adjusts due to the offensive alignment. 

I don't know why there has to be hundreds of posts about something that should be settled in about 10. Wait, yes it do...

It's a strange discussion just because all the data and the film points to them doing the correct thing.  

I'll freely admit that I was incorrect after the game in saying Mixon should have been in the game.  It's frankly disheartening that a journeyman like Perrine is a better short yardage RB than a $12 mil a year back like Mixon.  

Various people have pushed for Burrow to be under C more throughout the year despite his personal preference and the fact that the offense was successful with a mediocre OL that went in the toilet when Reiff went down.  The only thing I can figure is most folks that played football at some level played in offense that was primarily run from under C like the I-form, wishbone, or single wing.  That's what they know, they have a comfort level with it, they had success and/or watched their opponents have success with it, and it's what they want to see.
