Two QBs on the field at the same time when we only have two dressed, makes this a risky play and incredibly unnecessary. Risky to hand it to shady? Come on...

It effectively told Indy to expect the kitchen sink to be thrown so they have to respect every option. And that pressure was kept on with harvin motioning from behind TT in the shotgun shortly after. That we are willing to do the unusual creates space for the usual to succeed. If it went for 15, it would still be dumb and I would still hate it. A dumb play is a dumb play.

You know the play sucks when people are reminiscing about CJ up the middle. It was a hanger, and Indy crushed it into the upper deck.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I didn't like it as a first play. I would have wanted TT to get that first play, get comfortable under center, ease into the game. Maybe you run that the third or fourth series-- or even in the 3rd of 4th game. But, it looked fancy-- just wish it would have worked.

I didn't like the playcall. Remind me how often the qb gets hurt on a handoff, or a guy in motion in the backfield that doesn't block? Both were likely at higher risk stretching before the game. Don't like the call all you want but that's a silly reason. Edited September 13, 2015 by NoSaint
3rdand12 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 would a looked better with some decent blocking. i liked the fun factor. now if the Bills had lost....
Buffalo Boy Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Cassel sucks. If EJ was in there maybe. I too assume it was part of some deal to appease Cassel or trigger some incentive.

TheFunPolice Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 It will come back in a different wrinkle like having Cassel give it to Tyrod to run or throw

Introduced an unexpected wrinkle that had to be accounted for the rest of the way. Some defensive assistants were surely quickly assigned to having to sort out the wild meh (wild Matt probably works better but....) Edited September 14, 2015 by NoSaint

GunnerBill Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 It was a dumb call and they kept the trickery in the bag after that. But it doesn't hurt to put on film the fact that you are willing to try things. I'd like to see them go back to that play later in the season but actually give it to Tyrod going the other way.

But I don't think anyone (or at lease many) are arguing it was a bad play, just that it was a bad first play. And I agree. The reason it was on the first play was to make them think that "Taylor is our starting QB" was a ruse. Kind of a "I'm just !@#$ing with you play..."
papazoid Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 colts had a low level staffer sneak into cleaning crew job, indy knew that play was coming ??
