Yeah, I agree, he should have got down on that one. In the Super Bowl, you try to make that play. But in a relatively meaningless preseason game, he definitely should have got down instead of trying to pick up a few extra yards. And on that play where he did slide, he should have dumped the ball off to a wide open Reed instead of running at all. Just has to play smarter. I think he'll get there eventually.
