Great post. I’ve seen QB sneak under center stuffed a myriad of times. As everyone knows we score there we are leading and have the momentum. But again the bizarre happens.
Allows a chorus of people calling coaches stupid. I guess it’s understandable that people want to vent. It is maddening.
Still, amazing how everyone knows better. It’s always easy to criticize when something doesn’t work.
Frost said they looked at the sneak and the odds weren’t good based on Minnesota’s defense performance on QB sneaks this year. Off tackle Yant ought to work, but he trips and stumbles. Argh!
So you have:
A head to head shot (targeting?) on Johnson down to the 1 knocking him out of game. No penalty.
A Martinez run that has worked many times this year and probably scored.
And in my opinion a good call that is stunningly, poorly executed by the back most people here wanted to see the ball in short yardage situations.
The only play I probably would have liked to see was the fake dive and pass to TE who fakes block and releases. Works every time against us. Of course, with our luck a lineman tips the ball away or an NFL caliber TE mysteriously drops the ball.
So thank you for the pause, we can go back to stomping our feet and calling names.
