Every team has a Jumbo package where they use an extra lineman in short yardage and goal line. It just hasn't been effective for the Skins this season. I firmly believe it would have been more successful with our O-line that opened the season, but without that luxury, and repeated failures, I believe that we would be more effective spreading the field and using high percentage passing in short yardage. Look at New England, they keep defenses off balance, throwing the ball to Vrabel, Moss, or Welker in short yardage as much as they run it.
