Re: First and goal on the one yard line, what would you do?
from my buddy,and I agree "Quite frankly, I was very pleased with Jason Campbell. Not his fault how that went down. I thought he made plays when he needed to. The coaches, namely, Sr. Gibbs, blew that one. Absolutely no ability to manage the clock, first they waste two downs, then Campbell bails them out with the pass to Randle El. 1st and Goal from the 1. At this point, it has to be four straight runs up the middle, two with Clinton Portis, two with Jason Campbell, end of story. Clinton is the starting running back, I was disgusted with the drop and the fumble, but he's still gotta be in there. And it shouldn't have mattered, it should have been 4 straight sneaks up the middle with Jason Campbell. Rabach made two awful, awful plays, but still, QB sneak cannot take a loss if its done right, its nearly impossible, the center and the QB just exchange the ball and drive forward. You're given forward momentum, so there's no way, in 4 downs, 4 straight QB sneaks can't make it in the goaline. Just ridiculous.
Campbell is 6'4", 232 (thanks for the clarification). Even if its Saunders calling the plays, Gibbs has to take over at that point, and say, no spikes, we've got a minute to go, 1 yard, 4 straight runs, we have to make it. That's the deal. If you can't make that, you're done."
