One more argument, which I completely missed in my comment, is the game plan. With this roll, we are not running and not priming, we are gladly starting attacking in general and blitzing in particular with our deep points made and 10 checkers in the zone. And when we blitz, we normally go all out. Safety is a minor concern. My concern is to prevent her from anchoring, bring checkers is the zone (cannot do any of those now), and to maximize my chances to hit something (I can).
