Are you suggesting it was something they had never run before in practice? Why would DL even call a play they never practiced?
Coaches deserve a lot of credit for their game plan

Did Pat Fitzgerald have do this with his quarterback at the end of the Nebraska game??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????? As a quarterback you understand that you DON'T stop the clock EVER in that situation.
Made to drive this point home about quarterback awareness and coaching...
Tommy made an incredible play at the end of the game. He took the sack INSTEAD of throwing the ball up for grabs against UCLA. Which could of easily been a pic- six.

Without going over the merits of your post I think one reason you are getting some heat in here has something to do with the thread title.
It's real simple, just like it is for me to throw you in the bin with the rest of the blotards, click.
I was thinking the same thing. It was a loss, but if he throws it up in desperation good chance it's a pick six. A int at best. I'm hoping he's able to corral that urge to make it happen when it's not there. We could easily be 9-4.
This is probably the most pathetic use of the "Bo card" I have seen on this board
Maybe they should have told the back it was a run play so he would block for TA instead of just running by and then looking back for a pass

Oh i can do worse then that...
You believed he was a good coach.
You thought he would grow into the job.
You liked his JV coaching staff.
You cheered him on as he yelled.
You made excuse after excuse for him.
Your kind are mindless fools who are incapable of looking at a situation and thinking for yourself.
Peyton Manning On Bootlegs
"In a November game where RB Edgerrin James was out with injury, Manning, who had never run for more than 26 yards in a game, again decided at the line of scrimmage to fake the handoff. He didn't tell his O-line, not even running back Dominic Rhodes, and hustled 33 yards for a touchdown. "That's an old Archie Manning special right there," he told the Indianapolis Star.
"Quarterback bootlegs are the best when nobody else knows," he said after the game. "It was a run play all the way. At the last minute, I saw their safety cheating to the side. They bit."
But what does he know?
My only quibble with the call, would be to call a boot away from the run action, not towards it. With run action towards it, the edge defender didn't crash in on the down blocks like he likely would have otherwise. In addition, the nearest linebacker (presumably the flats defender) didn't go out on Ozigbo, so Tommy had the edge defender and a linebacker in his face.
In a normal situation, trying to squeeze it between them to Ozigbo is the right idea. Could have run a long ways had it been caught. But, since it was not a normal situation, Tommy needed to do as he was told, eat the play and let the clock run. Which is exactly what he did late in the bowl game when the QB counter play (I think) was blown up and he scrambled and looked like he was about to chuck up a duck.
One of the reasons why you always have your QB carry out a fake on a running play is exactly so you can tell him to keep it, and run a boot without having had to actually install it. A boot pass or waggle pass SHOULD work the same way. Yes, there will be routes, but let them run off their defenders and you keep.
Kind of like you and terrible people? Still so tiny...
Good stuff, one thing to add, I believe it was Cethan Carter that was suppose to motion which obviously would've made a difference. Still, I believe we had a timeout or two, let the play clock run down and use one to assure everyone is on the same page.
And yet, you don't have an ounce of knowledge to challenge a damn thing stated. Just like blo and sno, all talk.
Often I forget what the thread is even about and just reply when I have an opinion on what a guy says. Yes, the coaches did call a very good game.
That makes sense.
I had forgotten how rushed that play was to get off, before I went back and watched it. Tommy got under center with 5 seconds on the play clock. I guess that's the other quibble...like you said...use a timeout once you've got the play clock down to :01 and regroup. We had all 3 still.
We can only hope Langsdorf has learned this...we won't know until the 2016 season begins.
I am not a big fan of the spin to the left, throw off the back foot, deep pass into a strong wind. Never really liked that play call.
No, I'm not suggesting that, but they run a lot of stuff in practice. It's the emphasis that is put on it, and if you have a qb that is prone to making that kind of error, you need to drill it so that he doesn't make a mistake like that. Maybe the coaches could spend more time emphasizing the mental aspect of the game. If he's not coachable, he needs to be coached how to be coachable. If he still makes a mistake, the coaches need to find somebody to replace him or live with the consequences. It all comes back to the coaches and what we saw against UCLA was very good coaching.
Well Timbo, first I guess I would have to believe any of the things you say. I don't, therefore, I don't consider your posts 'knowledge' and I don't feel it necessary to waste my time combatting with a wanna-be insider.
But since you asked, if I am an OC in that situation I call a run play. Not a run play that looks like a pass or a run/pass option or anything that has the word pass in it. I would have a go to play that we would have repped repeatedly in practice that took all confusion out of it. I also would have called a timeout when I realized there was confusion pre-snap. That being said, I think DL probably learned from it and will do better going forward.
None of those things happened but keep trying to shove your OPINION down other posters' throats because that's what they are. They're not facts nor knowledge. They're your thoughts which is enough for me to not agree.
He threw a fade in to the end zone and if I recall correctly the first set of hands to touch that ball were the DB's. Aside from that I thought he did pretty well with managing his throws.
Tommy finally looked like a quarterback who has been coached by a NFL QB coach. His play was outstanding.

I noticed you conveniently left out the part about coining a term that uses a negative connotation on the mentally handicapped. I'm sure you will continue to do this by saying I have gone full potato, like a 12 year old, and continue to pound your chest. Just a bad human being...You're late to the party, twice, in this very thread...

No reason to, it's pretty obvious you just bitch slapped yourself, for everyone to see.
Oh and since your comprehension is lacking, I never said I disagreed. I said they were your opinions yet you attack others for having their own. What's nice is that you will continue to be you and reveal the kind of person you truly are. I don't have to do a thing
Nice try, I'll remind you...

And in the very thread you say, "enough for me to not agree", you actually agree, without even knowing it. Gawd damn man, one can't make this up, straight up awesome.
