When they hard a 3rd and 7, 3rd and 6, they would do this stupid shit constantly.
BD and I talked about this last week too, how they did it once in a while.
Well today it burned them *4* times; Clarke on Williams, MJ on Beasley (who really isn't that good at all; poor man's Baby Hawk) and MJ on Whitehead, I think it was. Then Dunlap on someone as well, think it was Witten.
None of us (or the team) should care if it throws in a wrinkle or a different look, etc.; IT DOESN'T WORK, ITS NEVER WORKED, SO STOP DOING IT.
Screw the big runs or anything else that happened today, when you need stops and you have the opportunity, mortgaging those opportunities is the worst and stupidest thing you can do.
Season is far from over and we're still in good shape with Eifert coming back next week, but you can bet your rear that NE will exploit this play every single time if we run it.
Just stupid, utterly stupid.
Agree completely,
I'd add Zampese calling a play action pass on that drive to start the 4th quarter where Dalton ended up running for his life or got sacked, can't remember. Zampese just flips thru playbook and is like oh, we haven't ran anything on this page for awhile.
And the lack of urgency, just inexcusable.
