Why did we call “THAT PLAY”?

[Vol8188]

Because it’s an 8 yard no room for error pass with a defender in the way. buying time isn’t an option, nor is stepping up and taking a sack.

Why do you think stepping up would lead to a sack? He has room to step up. If he has no other options, he needs to put the ball in the bleachers

No passing lane is a different issue is why it matters. It’s the QBs job to navigate the pocket and find a passing lane. He has room to step up.

But you were proclaiming he’s covered. He’s obviously not.

Probably 50% of passing plays QBs have to move within the pocket to find a lane. So I don’t understand your hyper focus on that issue here.

Open WR. Bad throw. That’s on the QB.

Sorry, you are just blatantly wrong, if that's open then every pass a quarterback ever throws is open. Should he have made a better pass and end up with an incompletion? Sure. Did the coaches put him in the best scenario there? Infatically no. I'm done engaging with the it was open crowd. By no stretch of the imagination was that an open receiver. Horrendous, astrocious, pitiful call, and a bad throw.

If you throw an out route behind the WR it’s probably going to get picked off. That’s how out routes work.

That’s not on the staff

You are right on the WR and out routes.

Unwilling to watch the mess again but guessing that was an attempted flat route to a TE.

It is Play # 1 on our short yardage package.

Again, I am ok with that play selection until they called the timeout. Then came the brain fart.

 

[GAVol]

I do think a single WR running the back line keeps that Safety from jumping the route. It’s not that the play call couldn’t work. I just didn’t like coming out in a jumbo set for an obvious passing situation.

Exactly!

Or some type of a slat-flat combo.........

That is the general idea though....needed a slight distraction.

Stopped watching the play, so perhaps we had that going and I missed it. But, the kid jumped the route. And yes, Joey made it extra easy throwing to inside.

Anywho, how 'bout that Mark Stoops. Heard he wants the FLA job.

 

[DC_Vol]

According to E Ainge the player was open. All plays are called to get a good player in space so they can make plays.
The throw was poor. Bad plays happen occassionally.

That’s right. It was there. Just a bad throw unfortunately. Game turned on that mistake.

 

[Skooter]

We had a wr open as well on Ainge’s bouquet toss.

 

[cgrish]

Am I the only one who thinks bishop would have punched it in?? I know that’s not the right call in that situation but I think he would not have been denied.

And with proper clock management we could have done that, and I believe he would have scored a td

 

[Budalicious]

How can anyone not hate a play action there? It was telegraphed from a mile away with zero chance that anyone would bite on it.

It did not matter. The player was open. It was just a poor, throw plain and simple. Had it been a good throw and we score nobody says a word. He could’ve thrown it away and we kicked the field goal. The call wasn’t the problem.

You are saying that with Nico throwing, that was 6 points right there?

I did not say that at all ,what I said that particular pass was a bad one. It was behind the runner, look at the video and you can see for yourself ,sorry but not ever pass is always accurate. It may have slipped out of his hand. I don’t know, but I know the receiver was open, and I know the pass was behind him.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

That was the worst call to make in that situation. A little league coach wouldn't call that

lol. Just stop. I have seen that dame play called by teams around the country. You and others are clueless.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I would've had Lewis in the game on the previous play and shoved it down their throat. Then that next play would have been the kickoff.

And that’s why you aren’t a D1 head coach.

 

[Orange defense]

After the play and at halftime, the refs were spotted in the Bama locker room giving the player hugs and fist bumping. Or was that after the game, or both??

It does matter because you are supposed to call plays based on likelihood that they will work. That one had a very low likelihood
