eSJayDee Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 On Moorman's 1st touchback, the ball hit at the 2 & bounced in. There were 2 players in position to make a play on the ball, but neither one did. After the play, they were talking to one another in a way such that one might infer that they each thought the other was going to go for the ball. Perhaps the outside guy had been O.B. so he knew enough not to touch it. Regardless, it was actually a good punt. In this case, relying on the coverage to make the play rather than the punter to hit the coffin corner proved wrong. Also, on TBs punt that was downed at the one. Our 'wingman' stopped blocking the gunner at the 10 & set up to block for a return. I don't know if they're instructed to stop blocking once they pass the returner (or the 10) to lessen the chance of them getting hit by the ball, but in this case, letting the gunner go allowed him to down the punt at the 1. Definitely either a strategic or an implementation mistake on our part allowed TB to make the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Expecting Teams to replicate last year is a bit ridiculous. They won't be surprising anyone this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
