Sometimes you have to go against your tendencies. Or perhaps there was something on film the coaches thought they could exploit. I know, it's easier to just blast a play in hindsight when it doesn't work.

It is of course, but you would think after it didnt work 1 or 2 times you wouldnt try it a 3rd or 4th.

I hated that play call. 1. Alfmo doesnt have the speed to get to the edge from a dead stop start 2. At least get Young in the backfield to lead 3. Why pitch to the the short side, your giving the Corner and Safety an advantage.

Later in the game there was another pitch sweep where Young did lead and it went to the long side of the field and it went for decent 8-9 yard gain. That was the right adjustment by Kyle.
