you have 3 options
1. QB can just run it
2. QB can throw it to the RB in the flat
3. QB can throw it to the WR/TE a little deeper
btw you have like 2 seconds to make the decision because of the free DE.
i would of much prefer to call a play like we did when we scored the touchdown.
Thigpen can look over the entire field and doesn't have to make a decision until the defense forces him to make a decision.
the Defense has to cover the quick slants, the fades,the fade stop, the run .... everything, which increases your chances.
but like i said .... i'm fine going for it. |
Those are pretty good options with Thiggy at QB and TG in the endzone, but I see your point about using the entire field. I guess it's hindsight, and in that case I'd take my chances with that sort of play. Like someone said though, the game was over at halftime anyway.... stupid Herm.
