still don’t think your criticism is necessarily “valid.” You don’t know why Arod called it, what other play options are in the playbook, or how having the backup center affects what play calls.

All we really know is the play wasn’t successful. And perhaps at least 50% predictable from the breakdown OP provided for the second half possessions. You may have preferred to see different calls in those moments, but I don’t think you’ve provided any information as to how you’d know those would be more successful or why.
