There has to be a run called.  It needs to be the first or the third play.  Period.

still sounds like a fade route to an allegedly injured sub six foot true freshman wide receiver on a first and goal from the five with twelve seconds left w/ the pass being thrown by a below average but very good running/scrambling quarterback that didn't have enough time on the clock to check down or scramble if his one option wasn't open. your fancy words don't fool me _fan  :nono:

All of them stink because they didn't work. Be assured that I like it better when Snyder calls plays that work too.

in the grand scheme of things and if given the choice... would you call the fade that takes seven seconds or the fade stop that takes four if you had the ball first and goal from the five with twelve seconds left?

I'd want my receivers to run a better cross/rub route so the ball comes out on time and takes 5-6 seconds. Of course I hope it doesn't matter because Lockett is open for the score. IMHO the rub route was the righ call on first own because it was the most sound play, it was just also the most poorly executed.

well i want ten million dollars and a beach house. i also want lockett to be four inches taller w/ more muscle and klein to be a much better passer if we are going to use up 7/12 seconds on that first down call.


bottome line is if you like the play call then ok, i personally didn't at the time and still don't. but just call something faster on first and second and leave that one until third. if those were the three calls they wanted then just switch the order in which they were called and then you don't have to worry about missing out on a possible third down which they should have. we owe that osu clock guy money.

_Fan could we see a defensive version of your fan_frames? Like show us a play we got beat on and then show us what was suppose to happen and if it was a bad call (Cosh's fault) or a bad execution (player's fault)? I'm just not HFIQ enough to know if it's the players or Cosh  :dunno:
I'm purple down
