Sorry buddy only the truth hurts.

Ok antdrew whatever you say

So, the real question is, if it was a stupid play call in Tampa (or if people are inferring that Ben thought it was a stupid call), why didn't he change the play? He knows how. He has the experience.

He either agreed with the call or wasn't smart enough to call a better one?

Ben can't spell his own name if you spotted him the B and n.

If you read the whole quote - even the parts you chose not to include - you see he calls it "technically" a run-pass option.

And that's my issue, what ark brought up: why are we calling a run play with the pass option being a conditional technicality? "There's only one 50/50 scenario on which we'll throw one pass to one route, and if that's covered we'll just turtle up and run up the middle like the rest of our run plays." 3rd and 5 is not a running down, especially with our run blocking. So throw a goddamn pass.

The biggest problem I have with our offensove gameplan is its over-conservatism. We play for FGs and field position in the hopes of winning FG-based slugfests. I know, I know. I secretly hate the Steelers so I'd ***** about whatever plays they actually called. But I hate that philosophy, especially when we have a bottom-tier defense that can't take advantage of field position and low-scoring games.

With our run blocking? Have you been watching games this year? The run blocking this year has been head and shoulders above last year, hell, what our the averages of our two backs again? I know they are breaking long runs, but the holes are there more often than not, the run blocking has NOT been an issue this year. It sucked on that play, but that's not been the norm this year, at all.
