I'm actually not sure what is worse, the play call or the fact that they obviously weren't prepared to run the play. If you are going to have a HB option play in your playbook, you damn well better have practiced it to the point where the back knows what to do if the play isn't there. Clearly, Chris Brown didn't. He should have eaten it and just taken the loss. Trying to throw the ball while being hit is inexcusable and I blame Kubiak for not coaching them up to know what to do if the play goes astray. Just the latest in a long list of indicators that Kubiak doesn't take care of the little things and doesn't have what it takes to prepare a team to play week in and week out.
