1st Play: A note about blocking: check out that nice Combo on the Shade to the Mike.
3rd Play: Step-down squeeze on the tackle, probably a keep.
4th Play: Great work there by Mason pulling. He could just log the guy he's assigned to, but he's got position, hold him up for enough time so he's not relevant and then blocks the Mike.
Really botched it in the Red Zone. Missed the reads, Counter Option could have been close to the first down or a touchdown. Ran Smash out of the Double Flex on 3rd and 8. If it's an on target pass then Smelter has a chance to try and make a play. Summers' route may have actually been the best option, but given the Smash read and the perfect coverage on this play, you can't fault JT for making the "safe" throw where if you miss it's incomplete and not a pick. Duke definitely diagnosed this play, the called backside route is that one that will probably come open and we've got the Post on so that when the Safety is all over the Corner route we've got an open receiver in the space he vacated. Live and Learn.

Thanks Longestday. That's painful to watch us make bad decisions so the Dukies can look like they us 'figured out'.

On the counter option on the 2nd and 7 in the red zone:
One problem here is 56, the DE, is feathering outside. Braun does a great job of getting outside of him and starting to log him, but 56 is waaaaay farther outside than you want him to be. He either anticipated the play or got lucky.
What this does is forces you to either : screw up the pitch relationship (run flat to get outside - now you're only 2x2 from Bostic, giving the pitch key the opportunity to play both, or try to cut it up inside, where you know there's not much room.
To me, it's a tough situation and I'd probably expect JT to want to get outside and make a play most of the time.
