Yes, because it can be an efficient and explosive offense. I'll take eight chances rather than four with this offense. In between, I'm playing the odds that this defense will minimize the potential damage of our extra possessions. That's what we did last year in the playoff. I think our regular season strategy this year gets us bounced out of the playoff.
I think we are just conflating terms. Plays and possessions.
Going fast in a possession just to get more plays doesn't equal better odds of success. That is simply a framing error.
We run lots of 8-10 play drives that produce points. Going faster in those drives does not increase odds of success. It's not linear like that. We win those drives with efficiency.
Empty drives are the devil, not fewer plays
