was it one of the 3rd and goal or 3rd and short, they run a fade to Hardin? They brought him in as the only receiver, lined him up wide, and everyone I was with knew what was coming. Such a low percentage play, even with a good receiver, on 3rd, forces us to a field goal instead of a touchdown.
In that situation why dont' we play action Joe? Unless the bookends of the line can't hold (maybe the case), it seems like that would be a bread and butter set up for us in short yardage. Joe is not only athletic, he's really good size, can't be the easiest quarterback to bring down. Maybe it's too simple or predictable, but not anymore than the token toss to Hardin we tried. Also, I'd like to see someone cover Hardin or Gollday across the formation on a back of the endzone crossing route.
