We threw on fourth down.

Like I keep saying, which you fail to understand, it's situational.

If the they collapse they line up between the guards and center, you hand the ball to Mixon or Perine the ball going off tackle and they're running so fast that they're impossible to stop from getting a yard. If they're not outside the guards, you QB sneak.

Where did you ever come up with this idea?

Once again, you prove that you have absolutely no clue how football is played.

If a lineman is heads up, he likely hits the offensive lineman heads up and pushes back or at least tries to stay put. If you hit him an angle, it is much easier to move him further to that side because he doesn't have all of his force behind him.

That's actually just common sense on the motion of objects.
