I don’t doubt the effectiveness of the QB sneak. I do doubt the effectiveness of our offense to move the pile on any third and short play.

I'd like to think that the strength of our front line, the IOL, could effectively convert QB sneaks.
Problem is, all the other teams know that we don't do QB sneaks, so they can plan around it to their advantage.
It's a weakness that's being exploited, no different than daring a pass-heavy offense to run, or vice versa.
