00:00It's one thing to have the play sheet in front of you. It's another thing to be a head coach with a headset to

00:07retain veto power over any call that's made and

00:10That's very different and just to say, all right, what are we running here?

00:13No, no, we can run it but don't run that and I think the fact that somehow the quality control

00:20allowed Shane Waldron's handoff or attempted handoff to Doug Kramer at the goal line fit to have that happen is a

00:28Failure of everybody not just the play caller himself. Oh

00:33I would I would completely agree with it. And again, it goes back down to what is your head coach doing?

00:39Is he involved in that call or is he worried about the next defensive series?

00:44Because you know, I'll tell you as a guy who you know

00:49Played offensive line and had my hands taped up and every finger taped up and had my wrist guards on and my wrist taped up

00:56Like I'm no business touching a football

00:59I'm no feel for a football and to hand the ball singularly

01:04Maybe the dumbest play I've ever seen in all my years as an analyst to hand the ball to an offensive lineman

01:11I just think it's stupid like hey listen

01:14I understand it if all sudden you fake him through the line of scrimmage and you get him out and you're throwing it to him

01:20And he's either gonna drop it or it's gonna fall

01:23You know if he drops it just falls incomplete or he's gonna score a touchdown because nobody's covering that guy

01:27I get that

01:28All right

01:29That one makes a little bit sense to me

01:30But to hand the ball in a scrum like that with your hands and your wrist tape

01:36I could see his wrist guards on as he took the ball

01:39from the quarterback to dive into the middle line of scrimmage like how that that you

01:45That may be that like I'm telling you it's one of the dumbest plays I've ever seen in my entire life

01:50Well, and like I played I know how beat up my that's the other thing man

01:55I think about when my kids were little as I was a player

01:59And you know also when your kids come running over to jump on your lap and I'd be like daddy's fingers daddy's fingers

02:05Don't touch daddy's fingers

02:08Like my hands hurt so freaking bad like your hands take a beating when you play offensive line
