So, on that final drive in OT, Romo is saying, man that defense is looking tired (this is when it’s goal to go, and NE is obviously going to be running it down KC’s throat); Jim frickin’ Nance, pro announcer, says, maybe KC should call a timeout to give the defense a quick rest? Romo says, great idea! Cue the camera to Andy Reid…-staring at the field like a deer caught in the headlights…
I was thinking they should call a timeout right before they said that. There’s three timeouts available and running out of time isn’t really a concern right now… They should’ve put about 15 guys out there to see if the refs caught it. They missed everything else yesterday LOL
I’d imagine it’s a completely different animal when you have a 300lb animal bearing down on you who can run a 4.6 40 looking to tear your head off…I’d imagine the margin of error in those situations is slightly larger than when you’re in a cushy, climate-controlled booth
Not to mention the viewpoint. There’s probably a reason they use photos from the booth when they’re breaking down the defense on the sidelines on those fancy tablets.
He calls it live before it happens … I think that’s what they were measuring … his ability to accurately predict what’s going to happen on field before it is actually played
I know that, but at least some of that is based off patterns he sees. I’ve seen him do it but it’s not on the first drive. He sees how they’re playing and sees the pattern and calls the next play. He’s good.
It’s frustrating to watch him call the play during your team’s game and seeing no adjustment from the coaching staff.
This is exactly why Dan Quinn should’ve been fired after losing the Super Bowl. He’s supposed to be the defensive guru, and Troy Aikman had “zone” or “man to man” figured out to start the 2nd half; nothing changed, Brady scored on every 2nd half drive, rest is history, literally.
