On the rare occassions where we're leading at some point in the fourth quarter, we will try the "run" on three consecutive downs in the name of something called "clock management". Inevitably, we'll be forced to punt the football back to the other team, who will inevitably, eradicate whatever lead we happened to have had.
It leads this football fan to wonder if the middle ground of the "screen pass" could achieve the "clock management" goal without the predictable run up the middle into a gagillion defensive players who knew exactly where the running back would be.
