Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3643040, member: 9052"] I'm with you on this ... that play was a total cluster ****. After the Haas run my first thought was crash play, then I saw Kobe as first receiver and thought nah too small, but it looked like we had double crash plays lined up, because a forward was outside him (can't recall him)... and I got far more interested in the play. Last second the dummy half waves his hand and Kobe drops back... pass then looking for Billy is right between Kobe and Billy, ends up in Kobe's hands who is now completely flat footed and he stumbles up to the line... then the ball comes shooting out. How does the ball come shooting out as fast as it does when there is zero impact in the tackle... so we cop a a bullshit call from the ref, but the whole thing was a cluster ****. Annoying thing for me was that the double crash line that was setup with Kobe is exactly what I would want to see us do for a ptb at the 1m line. That gives the dummy half 3 options to look at... Kobe probably doesn't work, but if the defence cheats up then the second crash line could be open, but the defence has to respect him as well. I wouldn't necessarily want my dummy half to take either option, but if he plays the pass well enough and the two decoys provide intent to look like they want the ball, then the defence should be condensed and provide the halfback some space to work with. But for some reason Kobe was waved back and a potentially good play was lost. It also didn't make any sense as to why Kobe was waved back... he wasn't going to be in the way of a pass from dummy half, he wasn't going to provide anything extra to whatever else was happening, but him moving around so late always ran the risk of causing disruption, which it did and then led to an error.
