Random categories in profile

Is there a reason we don't use run random, pass short random, pass medium random?

Wouldn't those be perfectly good to use on first and second downs, at least the two passing categories mentioned?

It's too bad we can't link those random to our profile rules :)
But we can't.
The random are short random, medium random and long random.
If it was left random, middle random, right random we could use them.

So how would using a short random on first down work?
It would be calling short middles and rights which violate our rules in normal situations.

Considering 'anything' is allowed in 2nd 10+ situations and with less than 5 min to go in both halves, maybe we consider allowing in those situations only?

You could conceivably have this on 2nd 10+:
RUN RANDOM 2
PASS MEDIUM RANDOM 1
PASS SHORT RANDOM 1

Main argument against this is it would make scouting this situation much harder than it is now.

Just throwing it out there - not promoting this change.
