Cedrick might have blown it (fake punt)

I'm not going to expect a WR to hit a pass 30 yards downfield while running for his life.

Former QB running toward that side of the field, and should be able to see that everything is working with no one within 15 yards of him.

Bet half the players on the team could have made that throw.

I dont think Cedrick realized the play was supposed to be a pass, he ran the play like it was strictly a reverse.

Maybe he never threw it in practice, maybe our guys never came up to tackle him in practice so it spooked him when he saw defenders closing in on him, LOL.

I call it a good call. Everything works exactly as drawn up but Wilson simply brain farts.

I wonder if it was that big of a brain fart or if he didn't have the confidence to make the throw...if he simply inexplicably brain sharted then you're right its a good call and hes an idiot. We have seen a pattern of Fassel making aggressive decisions and them back firing most of the time. Its gotten old, quickly. All the great calls in the world mean nothing if these guys can't execute. This wasn't about talent or beating your man. Just throw the damn ball. If it is a talent issue then start coaching to the level of your talent and don't make play calls they are clearly incapable of executing.

It was a dumb call
In the first place.


PoorExecution made It worse


Also let’s
Not forget the pass
On 4th and inches when a QB sneak has a 99% chance of converting.
Yep, I'm used to poor execution.
But the middle school play calls are a disgrace

At least half the team is capable of making that throw. I don't know how anyone who had ever played QB wouldn't have the confidence to throw that ball.

And the alternative chosen was running into a pile of bodies in the middle of the field. Made no sense at all.

That pass play would have been successful if it wasn't for some very obvious PI
