Why was Sammie on the field as a DB last play of the game???

its a 9 point game with 3 seconds left. and sammie is on the field. there is no way even with completed TD pass that the Texans can win. Why risk injury to your best offensive player?

 

this was absolutely hideous. put felton out there, or gragg, or mulligan. but sammie?

 

nothing came of it thankfully. but that was a horrendous decision. if its the playoffs or game to get in the playoffs, i understand. you go all in. but it was nowhere near the case here.

Because it's a very specific hands team unit that practices that play, and is employed in that situation.

 

The situation arose in game, so that team was put on the field.

Umm, guys, I don't think teams have a "we're up by more than 8" hands team and a "we're up by less than 8" hands team. It's just the hands team. Seriously, the odds of a WR being injured because he's playing back as a DB in that situation are pretty freaking slim.

 

And good for Marcus Easley getting his first INT!
