Going ultra small is high risk/high reward/high variance approach that teams do when they're desperate (ie down 19 in the 4th quarter). A bit like going no huddle and flinging it around in the NFL when you're in catch up mode. It often works until the variance catches up, and then it doesnt ... which is why teams don't do it all the time. I'm not freaking out over this.
