I've never understood this, and although I see every team do it, the Stamps do it more often than most.
It's second down. You call a passing play. The QB immediately passes the ball to a receiver two to three yards short of the first-down marker. The defense tackles him the second he catches the ball. Third down.
They ALWAYS do that, and it makes no sense. Does it not stand to reason that, if you have second down and X yards to go, you'd throw it at least X+1 yards to get the first?
