Generally I think it's a bad idea to go backwards in short yardage, even handing it off 3 yards behind line of scrimmage to a beast like Derrick Henry.
I liked Bell under center there.
I did NOT like the decision to have him run a speed option.
But they got away with it. Maybe it'll keep defenses honest next time we put Bell in one of those spots. [Reply]

Similar to how we faked the run up the middle on 4th and 1 to Burton and instead hit McKinnon in the right flat. Burton is perfect on those situations and Reid used it against them.
Besides the play might have even worked but bell pitched it too quickly. Didn't make them commit. [Reply]
