Players have to execute also.
That is an interesting thought. But again it's probably why I don't like trick plays in certain situations and in particularly this situation. We are putting players in positions that they are not accustomed to and expected to get a positive result. Which is the risk reward of a trick play but when it's only for 1 yard the higher percentage play is to run a normal play. Perhaps that's my real complaint with the situational football is when you lay out all the facts we are lowering our percentage of a positive play. But you are right I did say that I thought it was the players that really bailed us out in this game over playing calling atleast in the biggest moments of the game so they definitely deserve some blame for failing in that situation as well.
