I don't even think Langs knows what that is.Lee should've shovel passed to Hoppes, no one even touches him.
Mason was giving Lee benefit of the doubt on previous picks early on but was clearly blaming Lee for both picks yesterday and even advocating sitting him.He was, except and until Lee threw the 2nd pick, he was blaming everybody else but Lee for all his int's this year.

Mason knows more about football than either you or me, and a lot of people enjoy his broadcast. I wish he was our coach - still considers NU as a marquis job.Why give Lee a pass? Because Mason is a dimwit that watched no film to prepare for the game. Just read the production notes and showed up like the semi-pro BTN announcer he is. You want to fire someone - fire him and put Kugler on the daily shows at least he would show up prepared to talk about something other than what he is handed to read.
Riley made that call.That was early in 2nd half. My perception was they did shelve that play and went straight power. Give Langs a little credit here.
or 89 could have attempted to block anyone. If you are going to have someone pull, they have to touch a defender.
My only theory is they expected the LB's mind to be SO BLOWN by the counter action that the TE would happen across him trying to go to that 9 gap and force a run the RB who wasn't there back to the inside.Looks like someone missed a blocking assignment of the blitzing linebacker on the back end. I don't know the design of the play, but maybe Gates should have come off the double team (that wasn't very effective). But, why is the hand-off 7 yards behind the LOS. Sure seems to me that the RB should be getting a head of steam toward the hole (looks like play was designed to be run at a specific gap) and the hand-off should only be 4-5 yards from the line of scrimmage so that the RB is much closer to the lead blocking TE.
