Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2918703, member: 8290"] The reality is it was almost entirely Nikorima's fault, he was ball-watching instead of keeping his head up and look at his man, I watched the replay a few times from a few angles, Nikorima looks up about 1 second before Cooper receives the ball, and by that time it's too late for him to get in front of him. As far as I can tell Gillett didn't really make a mistake, he had Thurston if he tried to dummy and run and he trusted that Nikorima could at least put a body on the man running the line, to say that Gillett is at fault for not "shutting it down earlier" is a bit of a stretch, if Gillett rushes out of the defensive formation to try and shut down Thurston and misjudges it or mistimes it by even 0.2 of a second, it's a try every day of the week, either to Cooper running the line, or out the back to Hampton who would've had a 3 on 2 out wide, hardly worth the risk.
