The Halfback Pass vs. the Jags

[Mike]

It was a stupid call because it did not work. Now, if that was the Jags, and it was MJD, I bet the pass would have been completed.

The Dolphins are kicking themselves in the ass, they tried that with Ricky Williams 2 weeks ago, and they lost a similiar game. I think sometimes OC's try to get to smart, instead of letting the best players make the plays.

I have replayed it over and over again. I cannot see why he threw that ball. If you are gonna call that play, it should be drilled into the RB's head "if it is not there don't throw it"

The problem is our OC trying to do things he is not accustomed to. Kyle is not known for his aggressive and creative play calling. He gets by on throwing short slants and play action passes. Why now try to get cute? That cute shit didn't even get you there to begin with.

It's a stupid call because it's first down. I think you are better off running that play from the 20 or so since it gives room for the Defense to get sucked up, but if I am going to run it on the goalline, I definitely don't do it on 1st down. Take a shot or two trying to put the ball into the endzone before you take a big risk there.
