Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread

[CooleyAsCanBe]

Another reason to appreciate John Harbaugh is how brilliantly he coached the safety play. Not only was it the right call, but it was executed perfectly with shrewd coaching, running the clock all the way down the four seconds.

I'm positive Harbaugh told all his players to hold the 49ers defenders and there were at least 4-5 holding penalties that should have been called on the Ravens (including at least on blatent tackle), but since they would only have resulted in a safety (which was the goal anyway) and not any change to the kicking position, the holds effectively ran about five extra seconds off the clock and kept the 49ers from running an offensive play.

Brilliant call by a coach who knows his stuff.

Someone else who agrees already put the play to music:
