Early fake punt from your own end
-
Im still talking to myself over that one. Any insight?

But not having a kicker in the backfield has to be worth something.

We were fooling them into thinking it was a quick kick by an up back.
Or just a damn fool calling a non-punt.

they were hoping andy lee was going to magically reappear somewhere and win the game for them.......

No punter or QB in the backfield. Gee....I wonder what they're gonna do.
I don't care if plays like that even work...they're dumb.
That's on Hue and it has to go on his ledger.
-
It was a true WTF moment. Completely inexcusable call. I think he will be a good coach but I hope he learned today it's not a video game.
-
It was the dumbest call I've seen in a long time, by any coach.
-
Hue had as bad a day calling plays and making decisions as his players had implementing those plays.
-
Only having 10 players on the field and missing blocking assignments didn't help on the fake punt either:
-
There was nothing wrong with the play call... just when it was called. If this was called late in the game? I don't think I would have had any problems with it.
-
The thing that was really pisses me me off about that is that it's a 4th and 5 and it was obvious they were going for it. Run that play on 4th and 1, maybe. But to make a blatantly obvious "fake" in that scenario was just a bad, bad coaching decision. Hell, if you want to be aggressive at least run a normal offense there and not that crap.

1. The punter being used as a blocker (something he never does)
2. The long snapper being used as a pulling blocker (something he never does)
3. A guy who doesn't long snap doing the long snap (something he never does)
4. Nothing resembling a punt or pass play.....hmmmmm maybe the lone guy (a running back) in the backfield is going to try to run?
-
I'm not disagreeing with any of your points and maybe i should have used better words to express my meaning... Just trying to say that from what I saw, we didn't lose because of that play. We lost because we look like a team of cream puffs who are afraid to hit and tackle. If I have any real bitch with the play calling it would be that fact that our coaches are still afraid of establishing a running game.

If Duke saw the play was doomed from the get-go, he could have done a pooch punt. I noticed on the replay the snap way high. That's a trait Erving better fix, and quick. The whoopsie for a safety wasn't the first time he's sent a blooper far over the qbs head.

Just the punter not being in punter position is the only tip they needed regardless of #s on the field or who missed what block. Just a stupid ass thing to do only seen in middle school coaching (with a HUGH maybe).
