Could be true but that's not the way I saw it. You really think they'd rather have O'Cal in there instead of Richardson on that 4th down play?
Also, we all hear Haley say all the time those 4th down plays aren't spontaneous. They must have been in 4 down mode which means they would have known who they wanted in when they wanted them in, which further confirms (in my mind) that they wanted him in there on that 4th down play because the coach sprinted all the way down the field to try and get him in there but the rest of the team had already given up on him at that point and ran the play without him.
As I mentioned before, I think a timeout would have been the best thing to do in that situation. We clearly were not in our best mind-set when we ran that play on a number of fronts.
