Man what an injection that would be. If we can beat Detroit, get healthy over 10 days, then get some guys back (Edmonds, Rousseau,Hyde, White) we can for sure make a run through the rest of the season.
That'd be my opinion....it'd be an interesting wrinkle for us to dial it up even another 20% just because it's basically a "known fact" we don't blitz. Can always go back to form in tight spots.
I get ya man my thing was just, sometime the play doesn't work and players have to adjust. I do think using his speed was the goal all along and expecting his little behind to bull rush in....heck it'd be second guessed even more than what went down.
The more I watched the vid tho, the more I did get kinda mad that he didn't dive under the hit to the line, or just extend the ball. He literally pulls BACK from the goal line at the last second to get ready for the hit. Knowing even a fumble is super unlikely to hurt you there....dang. You gotta be willing to get lit up.
Little as he is, he is allowed to try to go partway #28. I certainly feel he has a chance to just go vertical and be tough enough to get there. Do his instincts as a speed guy lead him to that? Prob not, and that's fair. And maybe then if he doesn't get it, I'm mad he didn't go to the edge. But I don't buy no chance. There's always a chance.
Sadly, his instincts didn't tell him to extend the ball on a play where there us next to nothing to lose. He really was prepping for the hit that shouldn't have been there thanks to Gilliam.
