3rd and a bunch to go with a small lead against the colts in their house, FB run.
backed up against our own end zone, its pretty standard to center the ball for a good punt.

I thought I read recently that the offensive personnel themselves also complained that their packages were completely predictable, esp when they planned to do a run up the gut? it had to do with the personnel package on the field and how they lined up. the defense could predict with high probability when we were going to run, and by extension when we weren't going to (i.e. when we would pass), and therefore only stacked the box when it was needed.
I don't think Smith was allowed (which probably means he wasn't deemed competent enough) to change the play at the line of scrimmage. If it was Favre or Manning and they saw the box stacked like that for the run, they'd change it to a pass play. I don't think we had that option ever. We'd develop a "3 yards and a cloud of dust" formation, and the defense would confidently respond accordingly.

at the very least, hand it off to Gore, maybe he can break a tackle or two and u know, get a first down.

100% as bad as it gets. Good OC's gameplan to maximize their talent and attack the specific weaknesses of the defense being faced that week. Jimmy Raye never did that. Him and his FB dives. I will never forgive that man for losing us the Minnesota game with his bulls**t p***y playcalling on the last 2 drives.
