Film Review: That "awful" 3rd down screen
USA Today
Breaking Burgundy's Film Analyst Paul Conner examines the key fourth quarter play call that even Redskins coach Jay Gruden mocked Monday.
“No. No. That was awful."
Those are the words of Redskins coach Jay Gruden during his Monday press conference when asked about the call for a screen pass on a crucial third-and-goal play during the fourth quarter of Washington's 25-19 overtime loss.
Some 20-ish or so hours earlier, I came to the same conclusion. Note taking is part of my game day process for easy recall when it comes to deeper film review. In my 4th quarter notes, I had the word AWFUL next to that exact third down. Clearly, the coach agreed.
