I know hindsight is 20/20, but say this with me (referring to the fourth down play): Joe Mixon is not fast. JOE MIXON IS NOT FAST. He is big and tough. So play TO HIS STRENGTH. Or, here is an ever better idea: put the ball in the hands of your best player, Joe Burrow. That run wide NEVER gets around because everyone looks like they are moving in slow motion. Teams like SF run that play at a dead sprint, including the linemen. DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB.
Running the ball 3X on first and goal from the 5 yard line might have actually been more stupid, but I can't be sure. Maybe we should have a poll and let people vote?
I am willing to cut them some slack on execution on a short week, but the selection was just stupid.
On the upside, I saw a few plays to TEs that I loved and a couple new wrinkles. But when they needed to convert the most, it was like they wanted to keep the dolphins close.
His 40 time is 4.43 He was fast, he just isn't right now.
