I think he did the right thing. He's trying to get Darnold rolling... dont wan to ruin your first recent drive of the day.
I don't wish for injuries. At all. However. I instantly thought about how frank gore getting the ball more may just be better for this offense. I think Bell is extremely overpaid and isn't what he once was.
There is really no excuse for that playcall. Its a total give up and inexcusable. If anything, throw it into the end zone or a playcall to the sideline to ensure yourself another chance. Sam needs to start using his head as well and audible out of that call. This isn’t smart football.
You can’t blame the organization. How were they supposed to know that a guy who never had an inkling of success as a HC would suck? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sam isn’t a rookie. If he can’t be trusted on that drive, he has no business being a starting QB. The last thing this team needs is to coddle a QB.
Peyton Manning must truly be the greatest QB to ever play if he could overcome Adam Gase's incompetence.
I agree. But I don't think that's a play call. That's a check at the line. And it pissed me the fuck off. But the way Sam looked against the New England zero blitz it's probably built into his brain to check to that. It did not look like that came from the sideline. That's a 'check with me' call.
