re: Does any coach deserve some credit for sending OBJ out to return FG?

illegal. ODB would have had to CATCH the ball cleanly in a "block" situation.
This. The ST Coach told Odell to look and see if the OLs were just standing around watching the kick (in the event the FG was tried) and if so...to use his judgement as to returning.
It was an awesome play and well coached.

He sent in OBJ to jump up and block the ball just in case it was close to the cross bar.

You want someone back there in case they try and punt it and pin you deep. In that case, you can return it and it forces there hand to either actually kick the thing or call TO and try plan B.

Peoples started running with the whole "he was sent in to block it" thing on the rant all week and I just let them run away with it.

This is from the interview in The Advocate about that play:
quote:
Funny thing is, Beckham was sent back there with a mind to being the last line of defense against a fake or to try to knock the ball down if it looked like it was just going to nudge over the crossbar. That’s legal, if not exactly sporting, considering LSU led 49-17 at the time.
quote:. “But it ended up working out for the better.”
“I was hoping it would go just above the crossbar so I could jump up and block it,” Beckham said
The plan was to block it according to Beckham.
