So I try to give NFL level coaches the benefit of the doubt when fans call them stupid.


Yes.  I remember at MLB as a newbie always trying to make the tackle.  They'd scream at me it wasn't my job to make the tackle. I was always eating up blocks while that diva WiLL got to wrap around me and make tackles.  I feel your plight Rey.  Haha.
