If I'm not mistaken, the play before the Johnson "drop", which clearly has fix and money written all over it for the bookies, clearly a catch, was a 2nd and short where we decided to make Fred block for Spiller who didn't see the correct hole, and went nowhere.
Now I'm all for running out of a 3-4 receiver set. It has worked well for us. But there are times, when you just put a FB in, line up in the I, especially when ahead, and give your best RB the ball. Had we done that we may not be where we are.
Seems to me sometimes we out think ourselves and get too creative. Maybe its a learning process for the coaches too, learning how to play with a lead. But it seems to me with some simple formations running the ball could have solved a lot of our problems today. Hopefully they learn from it.
