Because it's not required. Face guarding isn't a penalty anymore.

Interceptions are cool, though.

Throwing between the hashes off playaction on first down is working but would have been even more effective if you did it when not in a two minute drill.

Ok but that's a terrible habit to have your db's develop because all it's doing is making us do PI's all over the field. This QB is throwing absolute floaters to their WRs, they have time to turn around and pick it.

Dumbest coaching call ever. Why didn't we just go for it or try the kick if that's the case

Tosh is just a trrrible coach. Room to grow sure. But from day 1 of being hired and assembling his coaches. That's what sticks out to me. That's was a dumb decisions. Making poor decision on field is one thing, but to start your HC career…that's why I think he'll remain a poor coach. I'd say can him.

There is no way our kicker makes that. We needed to go for it. At worst fake the pooch kick.

Good news is I can see our defense becoming pretty scary next year.

I think we need to give McCann a bit more time. Our guys don't have enough reps with the new modified offense.

The playcalling was flat out bad until we stopped wasting a down running on first. It has gotten a lot better the last 10 minutes of the half.

Good drive, but it started with too many short plays that took up too much time.

i dunno dawg. yeah could've been better, but seemed like a lot of mis-execution was there as well.

Yes, but it helps when WRs make contested catches. With JKS they were dropping uncontested balls.
