Then don't give him the ball to run it on 4 straight plays?
The guy can hand off or throw a quick pass at/behind the line, yes?
Golden, lol. Guy couldn't win with Miami talent.
This is an option offense right? He could have pitched to Harris on the last one and scored. Maybe you missed that.
I probably would have handed it off earlier though.
Usually everyone is on Laviano for a bonehead play, but this one is on Ash and Mehringer with personnel decisions on situation plays.
NOT if our moron QB makes the pitch.
And they'll say "You wouldn't have been mad if we got touchdown." Um, yes we would because it was still a stupid call! It wasn't 4th and 1. It was nearly 4 yards. Take the points and potentially the lead going into halftime. But amazingly they run slowest qb on earth. What on earth are these coaches thinking???
That play called, you do not run it with Laviano. Do it with Gio, do it with Oden.
They do seem to be a step slow and out of position on most plays. For an unit that's undersized, speed shouldn't be an issue but it is.
It's 7 to 0 at the half in a game most of us thought was going to be a beat down. I'm ok with it.
I am very happy that we are down by only 7. If we keep it up we can keep it close.
to be fair to lavs, i think harris was out of position... he either should have blocked for CL or stayed back a bit to take a pitch... not sure what the design of the play was..
or maybe CL butchered it.
Wait, being up 3-0 is unacceptable to Ash, but being down 0-7 is good enough to just take a knee?
Probably but you have to call plays assuming they will be executed correctly. I'm not saying the play calling was great on that series but that last one should have been a TD if executed correctly, even with CL.
Harris was in the right trail position. Laviano should have pitched it, but the truth is Laviano should have never been put in a bad situation.
