For Short to kick short there has to be a short option. I've noticed teams are closing this down on us pretty quickly. The long kick to the wing contest is your standard low-risk option when nothing else presents or is too risky.
I have seen more teams going straight up the guts, high risk, high reward. They might be trying to exploit something they are seeing in our central zone on kickouts.
