Looked like a deer in headlights there.
My theory is that he wanted JT, but knew he wouldn't be healthy, so Cardale was the starter. If Cardale killed it, then Cardale would stay. He kept JT warm until he was 100% ready to go.I hope someone comes out with the inside scoop on what happened this off-season, because I can't for the life of me understand how Urban watched them in practice and named Cardale the starter. THere's no way the gap in the play between the two QBs this season wasn't at least somewhat apparent early on.
I remember them as zone reads where either Zeke ran it up the middle or Cardale took it outside.
Don't even make it a read. Run a QB power like Tebow used to. With their OLine and Cardale being 250, how does it not get 4-5 yards a pop?
Sounds like a draw which isn't really a power run nor is the type of run I'd like to see them try.Nah man, they were delayed QB power runs...the one where he takes a big step back like he's dropping back to throw, then runs off tackle...he would always try to break them outside and would run right into a DB....I remember complaining about this in a previous gamethread.
I still don't get why we slow the tempo down with Cardale in

Because he's not completing passes. So you run the risk of going uptempo with a guy who isn't completing passes, going 3 and out, and putting your defense back on the field having given them no rest.
They did overturn it....error on the side of caution then overturn it on replay. I don't have qualms with that.That was the definition of the hit the targeting rule is trying to create...head was up, led with the facemask...the worst rule in sports right now.
