Very idiotic and he can’t blame the QB for that dumbass call. Calling a run there was waving the white flag on that series.
I can't remember the last time I saw the Jets turn a draw play or something similar when 2-20 or even 2-15 into a 1st down. Maybe other teams can do it, but I haven't seen the Jets do it. Basically it's as you say - a wasted play.
