Pete's Monday Presser w/synopsis

[mikeak]

I loved going for it on 4th. This team needs those calls.

Word.

Lots of us - me included - think going for it on the 4th down is actually the less risky decision

You put your opponent that moved the ball at will (at time) on the 1 / 2 yard line with less ability to do things. You put your defense in a better position and had a high chance of forcing a punt from their own end-zone. You put safety, blocked punt and a great return all into a more likely scenario than if you kick for 3.

Now add to this that you had bad return coverage and problems stopping the run all through the game.

I have absolutely no issues with the 4th down going for it. It came out as calculated when it failed as well. Not great field position but pretty damn good. You did get two good shots at winning the game on that play.

I hate the playcall though.....

I wanted to see a RO on that play rather than up the gut after our starting center had left the game due to injury.

FWIW the Lewis got pretty good push on that play. Sweezy on the other hand most certainly did not.

How come he didn't say anything about Bevell needing to be better at calling plays? For such a major issue he doesn't seem to be doing much about it.

Perhaps Bevell's play calling is fine.! Pete knows, you don't.

I thought that too but I have been shown the light!!

What sucks is I think we had the perfect playcall dialed up and Reid saw his defense was screwed and called a very smart TO. Then Bevell basically had to go to Plan B, which is only good for that night you mess up.*
