Yes -- nothing irritates me more than to see teams all around the league have plenty of timeouts with a minute or so on the clock just before halftime, but play it conservative. They'll run it once or twice, and only if the RB breaks it for a long run will the coach attack downfield.

Didn't anybody learn anything from the Pats last year? You have to attack from start to finish. I'm sick of this play it safe, 'what if we throw an INT' mentality. Be aggressive and put the opponent on his heels.
