The point is... wasting the time away. 1. If they do get the 1st down yardage, even better 2. Even if they don't, it's still better than that shit pass calls that never works. It doesn't stop the clock, and it also moves the ball forward - paltry 2.x yards, it might be, but still it moves.
Good job Rhodes. Made up for the missed tackle. Still, Rhodes is a great coverage safety, but he can't tackle for shit
