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

In the most Arod fashion possible, the 3 wideouts were not on the same page as to who was actually supposed to get the screen. They were struggling to get organized until right before the snap

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...

No. The *literal* definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over

Psychiatrist: that is not the definition of insanity. 🙂

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

Sep 9, 4:30pm

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

Sep 9, 6:58pm

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
