By your logic, lets just go for 4th down on everything, deep routes on every play, blitz on every down, cuz we got nothing to lose right. Coaching would be so easy if that's the case.
Football is to balance risk and reward and historically it's been more of a conservative sport. It wasn't long ago when teams would never try anything on 4th down. Both teams know our OL can't block, so it's likely a short pass, it's too predicable. If it's 4th and < 1 yrd on the 50 then I might try a sneak or something, 4th and 3, too far.
