The consecutive sneak thing again

Debaser : 1/11/2022 10:42 am
You know what else is weird about it, that I had not realized? The formation. They were in the take a knee formation, but they were sneaking it.

There must have been some discussion about doing this or they practiced this after the Bears game.

This clown bafoon thought that would be the answer after he gave up a safety to the Bears last week. Instead of practicing a 2 TE formation and a play action pass that could have meant a TD with an over aggressive defense; the clown thought that would be a good idea.
why didn't they just punt on 3rd

It was a wedge formation, I'm sure they have sneak plays

drawn up like that. I'm not sure how the sneaks gained any yardage, given that there wasn't much else the Giants could do out of that formation.

However as it turned out. It wasn't that all that bad. Dixon got off a decent punt, The defense held and we got the ball back on the 20. The game was 3-0 and less than 2 minutes was run off the clock.

I'm not even sure what personnel we had on the field, they may have had to have sent Korey Cunningham out in a pattern!

Should have just punted on third down. It would have been less embarrassing.

every time they received the ball.

Actually not a bad play design for third and one. Cause it worked

twice for about a yard. But to use it on second and third down?. Why not wave the white flag and say we quit.
What message are you sending the team

when you quarterback sneak like that.

I would think it says our offense is hideous and we can't win so let's just try to keep it close.

With that approach you expect players to risk injury and play hard. Not going to happen.
