I've read many different ideas on here about the FL game and specifically the last play. I spoke to a guy who plays professional arena league football and explained the last play to him.
He said that the play call sounded good. He thinks that the players didn't execute. The safety cannot get burned like that. He also said that the weakness in a cover 2 is the middle of the field. So when Abernathy turned to his right instead of his left he allowed the WR to run by him so it wasn't the coaches playcalling mistake
Personally we lost the game many times over by not scoring in the red zone. So really nobody should be blaming Shoop or Butch for the defensive call. Also I doubt that QB could throw another ball hitting a guy in stride from over 70 yards with tight coverage again in 1000 tries. It was very lucky.
No question that the Blame falls on the offense, special teams, and offensive coaching in the red zone....
I think Shoop coached a good game overall against a poor offense..
