You make the call!

Assuming both teams have average players

You have ellected to go for it on fourth down

Fourth and (one to three)

how often would you run the ball? (think in terms of the FOF gameplan)

If a Bengals fan says run, that does mean you should really pass?

almost every single time you run... unless the team you're playing sucks at pass D, than you pass....

70/30. You have to mix it up a little, and many times those passes can be big plays.

running play action or something like that is a great risk/reward play

Here is what drove the poll.

I have been spending some time with the FOF depth charts, and I noticed that in some situations the game is pass heavy on fouth and short.

One in particular is fourth and short when playing from behind in the 4th quarter. On a few different teams, the FOF AI sets the run % to about 16.

My thinking is that preserving the drive is more important than gaining yards on that play and you call a run.
