re: Anyone else see the irony here?

What many of you are saying can be summed up with one phrase: Risk Adverse

and then the * of ... when it comes to the passing game.

That was the maddening part. He'd go for it on 1,000 4th downs but wouldn't pass to the TE on the hashes with the S up and the LB crashing on 3rd and 3.

One thing I've loved about some coaches was their choice of time to take risks. Lou Holtz would always throw it deep (usually to a TE, middle of field) when backed up against the goal line. Saban does the same thing, except he likes the TE hashes-to-sideline. Hell, he did it twice in a row against AU one year when the first one was open but it was a bad pass.

Why? %'s said you were likely not to drive the field anyway. The risk was worth it. But Miles, where passing was concerned, sometimes seemed to let the risk on a particular play scare him more than net on a drive, qtr, or game.
