How about we work on the 4th and 1 or 2 running game ?
Whatever it takes. New blocking schemes? 2 tight ends ? You should be able to get one or two with our offensive line, even when everybody knows you are going to run. We have the best 2 backs in the country. Maybe get under center and run some I formation ! Figure it out , because not converting these situations gets you beat against good teams.

Maybe we line the QB & RB further back from the line? Definitely shotgun; no QB under center.

How about we stop calling play action pass plays on 4th and short?

Re: How about we stop calling play action pass plays on 4th and short?
Again, we have the best running back tandem in the country. Use them both in the backfield on short yardage and then Carr has the RPO if the D stacks the line. But come on, What team can stop Love or Price? You can use zone blocking to the play side and the one back carries and the other blocks the nearest defensive player. Simple but effective.
Especially when the Head Coach is inclined to go for these

How about they stop getting themselves into 4th & short situations.
Especially near the goal line. It's obvious the play caller can't handle the pressure. And to hear MF double down at his presser defending these idiotic play calls.
