We should have been throwing on second down, play action roleout's to take advantage of Brunells legs giving him the option to run or throw, trying to run the clock down at that point in the game was moot, if we don't get a firstdown the Bucs have more than enough time to take the ball downfield whether we have an incomplete or not. The right call in that situation is to do whatever you have to do to get a firstdown, if you fail with an all out effort you can tip your cap to the Bucs, but that's not what happened we went into a shell and said hear's another chance to beat us, bad move considering the Bucs had already showed they pretty much figured out how to expose our secondary at that point with galloway.
