When you run the ball, how many of you hold the speed burst button down from the second you get the handoff? I'm asking because I read an article on here yesterday where the guy was saying it's better NOT to use it like that and to use it only when you are in open field? I don't understand that. No disrespect to the guy that wrote the article but I just don't see it that way. I hold it down from the get go because I want to hit the holes, the corner, whatever as fast as possible. I'm not an expert at the game but I've had decent success running the football this way forever. I just don't see an advantage from making your running back slower if you can speed him up a tad by just hitting a button. What are ya'lls thoughts?
