Idk what's more retarded, your question, or the lineman picking up a fricking LB when hes supposed to be kicking back covering a gap.

Hell of a toss up.

When a OL releases down the field 3 yds when qb is scrambling around or just dropping back, it is a key to the defenders that it can't be a pass, it has to be a run. Thus they come hard toward the los, because no body can catch a pass behind them.
Last week when Chambliss was scrambling and about to be tackled for a loss, he just tossed the ball to a receiver for a big gain. The reason that receiver was open was because the defenders read the OL down field and moved forward , The refs clearly missed the call and hurt LSU considerably

I have a feeling he was just trying to make a play or had a misread


All state Florida right tackle here. No. His dumbass either didnt know the play at all (which is pure insanity), or his misheard the play which hardly makes sense. IRDF is the most idiotic and inexcusable mistake.

Its shocking to see it at college level.
