    The defense gets more physical. It's also easier for the defense to do when you only have 4 plays to do it.

    I think this is a good point, we do struggle at the goal line more than just the red zone itself. Something I read from Josh Mcdaniels is that if you incorporate mis direction in your goal line plays TD success rate goes up by 25%, whether it's a run play or a pass play. It's so congested from the goal line to 2-3 yard line if you run mis direction if the defense takes a false step they have zero time to recover. Some boot leg plays or some jet sweep motions or anything that gets the defense flowing one way can open everything up down there and Leach wouldn't have to really change any of his basic plays to incorporate this. I also would really love to see a QB sneak from under center inside the one(but I know that ain't happening). Just some thoughts.
