He had a great angle on him then just turns the other direction.

Looked like he thought he tried to change direction on Morestead. I don't know if he gave up because he knew it was coming back, or just gave up on it

Yeah. I was assuming he would just push him out of bounds, but then oddly turns the other direction and let's him walk in untouched. I was screaming, WTF?! Then realized it was a forward pass. He may have done the same.

Looked like he figured he was cutting inside and tried to stay a step ahead of him. Instead Cooper just kept going.

Also, Moorestead got hurt last year tackling on a return in preseason right? Could have been a bit shy to tackle due to that as well.

I was dying laughing only cause I knew it was a forward pass and saw the ref throw the flag. Would have been pissed if not

to me it looked like Johnny Patrick was right on his arse telling him to GTFO the way so he could tackle him and Morestead was like and started trying to alter his body in every direction but Patrick never really tried to get by him.

That was a pretty badass play design. Basically the Music City Miracle except Riley Cooper laid down in the endzone.

I'm not sure how laying down in the endzone helps.

I think it worked last night just how they wanted it too, minus the Boykin fwd pass. I don't think anybody on our special team was paying attention to him, until the pass was in the air.

I laughed every time I saw Morstead on the replays.

I was watching him lay in the endzone and thought...Music City Miracle.

And then I was like...umm, the Saints can't be this stupid can they?

Lucked out big time.

i was like are you kiddingme? then i laughed cause of how the kicker was trying to play it.

I was thinking - hell with so many touchbacks on kickoffs, he forgot how to tackle.

He even failed on that!
At least he didn't get that expensive leg injured!

I bet they had to tell the refs about the play pre game
Otherwise, a ref may have blew play dead assuming Cooper was injured.

He's more of the pony tailed intellectual type.
Guy has a degree in mechanical engineering.
Not sure what his thought process was there, tho.
