[QUOTE="Eastman, post: 320320, member: 1390"] Largely agree with what you said but [B][U]rushing[/U][/B] a qb is not identical to stopping an intended run. Even if you are in the qb's field of vision it isn't always the best choice to break down before you get to the qb since it gives them more time and typically your main concern is stopping/disrupting the pass, not a potential run. Certainly another factor important in this situation was the athletic ability of the quarterback. Few qbs would have escaped as he did and Mitchell took a risk that didn't work out. If you are as fearful of the qb tucking and running as you are to their passing then certainly want to exercise more caution. On the other hand if Peyton Manning had been the qb, giving him more passing time is what you don't want to happen. My basic point is that what Mitchell did was not "really dumb" as was earlier stated but a split second decision where he took a calculated risk that didn't work out. [/QUOTE]
