A non football move

After watching the replay it's hard to fault the second down call. The obvious call is to run the clock down which is hard to argue. However, the receiver was wide open and Mett missed a wide open receiver on that play. If he made the throw and the catch was made Miles would have been lauded for such a great play call. If you watch the replay slomo the running back probably would have been stuffed on that play unless he made an exceptional move. IMO Mett didn't play a bad game. He had very little time to throw the ball on any play. Probably had too much time on the last play which he wasn't used to. Clemson has a good team. We just have too little imagination on offense. I frankly feel much better having watched the replay. We played well but so did they.

I thought that was weird too.


Rasco, btw.

Which thread should i be on? i was in N'awlins celebrating New Year's Eve and only caught the last 4 minutes or so of the game. My wife wouldn't have been happy if i had foregone a New Year's celebration for watching the game. You make your own rules. I'm aware of mine. So i just watched the replay which i hesitated in doing knowing the outcome. Something wrong with my logic?

This is a thread about a non football move, not a second down call

Wait, which you started?!?!

Da frick?

Relax, man. I was agreeing with you. I didn't get the call and just wanted to tell you that his last name is Rasco, not Roscoe. Wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything.


Cool the jets.

you can definitely tell a few haven't ever played a down of football in their lives.

Tampa Bay Bucs were called for something similar in the Saints game @TB this year.

Saints lined up for a FG and one of the TB LBs yelled for a shift and the entire line shifted, causing a couple Saints players to false start. I guess in the NFL, it's a personal foul for unsportsman like conduct.

If Rasco did imitate a snap count or continually flinch to try to draw a false start, it is a penalty.

Seen that penalty twice in my football career. Rule is you cannot hit the snapper while his head is down during the snap. You have to let him get his head up before engaging him or its a penalty. Its a safety issue. The position they have to be in the snap the ball(head down looking backwards at the kicker) they could get fricked up for life if they were to be hit while in that position.
