[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 183454, member: 2426"] If the fourth down play had worked, no one would complain. In other games, I have seen people complain about GT passing the ball on first down when, "The dive has been working, why did we go away from it!!!". On the radio show last week a caller asked why we didn't pass the ball more since Duke was stopping the run. PJ's response was that we went 6 for 22 and gave up a few sacks. We did try what the caller suggested, but it wasn't working. Down the road, people complained about Bobo on one play per close lost all of the time. In some cases, he almost brought the team back from way back. However, when one play doesn't work, there are many "experts" who knew what the correct call was. Vad Lee went into games for a series during Tevin's last year. People were complaining that Lee should have been playing all of the time. PJ's response was that Lee didn't understand the complete offense and could only run part of it. Therefore, the play calling when he was on the field was limited. I guess those "experts" knew what he was capable of better than CPJ did at the time. The point I am trying to make is that the coaches know the players, the system, and the situation better than any of us. Sure we can say they should not have run that play in hindsight, but have you done a detailed film analysis of the play to see that it was just the play call? Did JT have any options or was it just a straight dive? Did some of the blockers pull on the wrong person? Was there a check? Was the check correct? The only thing I can say for certain is that it didn't work. I am not going to blame the coach or the system. I do however, expect the coach and the players to look back at the situation, the play, the execution, etc. and use it to get better. [/QUOTE]
