usually in second halves Reid replaces the run game with conservative sideways stuff. He does those things regularly but especially in the second half. These are conservative calls so I don't like when people say Reid abandons the run in the second half therefore he's too aggressive. He's been too conservative in the past.
He called the second half yesterday like I want him to. Don't abandon the run. Don't be afraid to throw vertical. Thought we did that well. We just didn't execute on third passing downs for whatever reason.
