Can someone make this happen? We can't run an incidental pick play to save our life, because the offenders (Fasano, Crayton) make it outrageously obvious. On the flip side, Larry Fitzgerald executed a great pick on Newman at the goal line that would have resulted in a Boldin TD had Newman not wisely grabbed him.

Get on it, Bill. ;)

I suppose our wide receiver did run a pik, he ran a 2 yard hook pattern, right back into the d-back...............:banghead: I imagine our receivers coach will call League office for an explanation of what was wrong

I think the players just don't get it sometimes. They know what to do, but then they get in the game and forget what they learned. Although, I think it was questionable on the Crayton call. I didn't see him extend his arms. He turned to the QB like it was a hitch route. The defender ran straight at him. I only saw the replay once. I would have to check it out again to see if my initial observations were correct.

Looks to me like they're turning and face-blocking the defender. It's obvious that this is being looked for by officials in our games, just as they take every opportunity to call BS chop block penalties when our TEs touch defenders.

Larry just gave a hip check to Newman, and that's really all you need. Our guys are facing up, and completely stopping the defender. You can't do that. I think that call was legit.
