That's fair, but these modern offenses lining up in the shotgun on 4th & 1 drives me insane.

AMEN!

You need a yard or less, so you're going to start by snapping the ball 7 yards away from the line to gain. WTF sense does that make? If you can't impose your will on a defense to move people 1 yard off the ball having the advantage of knowing both the play and the snap count, then maybe you don't deserve to win. Put Milroe under center and tell him to stick his nose in there somewhere and get a yard. Every now and then, I get the philosophy of play action and a quick throw in that situation, but shotgun just has too many negatives to seem prudent. That situation sends me into shivering fits of rage.
