I would be shocked if the quarterback did NOT have the option to go with the sweep or pull the ball himself in the situation you describe. Surely he must have that option, especially when he can see at the last minute what the defence is doing. That is also why we need to be careful about calling out Lapo when something does not work. Yesterday several people were complaining about us throwing a five yard pass just over the line of scrimmage on second down when we needed ten for a first down. On that play, it could be clearly seen that the QB checked the other receivers who had gone deeper. Given that they were covered, he had the good sense to drop the ball off to avoid a sack. I'm sure the OC was hoping that a longer pass would have been on but, given that it was not, the right decision was made. It was good to have that shorter option built into the play. It could have been more productive, just not that time. There is always another team on the field, and sometimes our best offensive work will not be run well enough to beat them. I think Lapo does a good job and if you would like to check with the Sask fans, they would love to have him instead of Mc Adoo.
