and expecting different results. It says literally nothing about 3rd and long play calling.

3rd and 17. Arod calls a pass behind the line

Not necessarily. I've been plenty critical of the play calling

No, very common to call a screen pass on 3rd and forever. We have picked up

3rd and long the defense often blitzes anticipating a long pass play.

Nope.

Didn't we waste a timeout before that play too?

When John Beck beat TCU at TCU, Curtis Brown made a living off of those plays.

Every coach calls plays like that.

No. That's football

I'm typically not a fan of plays like that, but I think it would have worked had the pass been completed...

It wasn’t a screen - it’s like the outlet route. He struggles with throwing

Swish

There are more than just one route being run on that play...

Psychiatrist: that is not the definition of insanity. 🙂

That's not even the craziest part of that call.

And wasn't that right after a time out?

I think the timeout was one play earlier. Could be misremembering.

What type of play do you like to beat a potential blitz

The Dr. Bob Anae third and long draw was absolute insanity and it worked far more often that I would have guessed.

I was thinking of Norm Chow and prior

Belboz

it worked against us when opposing teams ran it on our D more than it...

icecougar

It is the conservative play. It is better to pick up 7 -10 yards and then punt

Nice explanation for us that aren’t great X and 0 fans. Makes total sense.

Screen pass is not uncommon at all on 3rd and very long. This is not an evidence of ARod being stupid.

What’s insane is asking a turnover prone QB to force a throw 20 yards downfield

That play had a lot of problems…

PFCougar

MANY coaches call screen plays on 3rd and long.

TheLoneCougar

Sep 9, 8:51pm

I’ve seen that type of play work many many many times
