Something announcers always talk about are scripted drives to open the half, in which plays are pre-selected and practiced in sequence. This concept has always confused me because it seems to disregard a good play caller’s situational awareness. Am I to believe that the 3rd and 10 vs 3rd and 1 play call are the same because it’s a scripted drive? It just doesn’t seem right to me. How do coaches account for situational variability in their script drives? How do coaches plan a play 2 when they don’t know if play 1 gets them 3 or 15 yards?
