Teddy ran the wrong play

But I am sure it was not his fault

There was definitely some miscommunication there between Teddy making the call and executing the play,” the Broncos head coach said. “Teddy gets under center a lot before he moves back to the gun. And then when it became obvious that he wasn’t going to do that, you know, it was kind of too late for me to run down there and call the timeout. That’s what happened.”

So the veteran quarterback ran the wrong play. He was under center when he was supposed to be in shotgun. And no one thought to call a timeout.

Not the head coach. Not the offensive coordinator. Not a player on the field. No one.

It’s almost difficult to believe that this could happen on an NFL team. On the 20th play of a drive, facing a fourth down that would likely make or break the night, the Broncos couldn’t execute correctly. And no one was paying attention close enough to prevent it from happening.

Shame on Teddy Bridgewater for not running the play correctly. Shame on Pat Shurmur for not getting the call in correctly. Shame on Vic Fangio for not being alert enough to call a timeout. And shame on the 11 players on the field for not recognizing the confusion.

    • The lines dictate the game. Always.  Defense: control the LOS and pressure the QB Offense: control the LOS and prevent pressure on the QB
    • Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield, Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold are not clutch QBs. They will need defense and great game management to win consistently during the season. They are done in the playoffs when the defense and coaching can't carry the game. Don't waste time or money on them. They'll be the end of great coaching and defense in the playoffs following a strong running game during the season. Geno Smith is clutch and can contend for a championship game in the playoffs.
    • Amazes me anyone would say he's not clutch. 30.4% GWD conversion is lower level clutch like Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Andy Dalton is 26.4%. Baker Mayfield is 17.5% and Sam Darnold is 12.5%. Bryce Young is 11.1%. People need to realize QB must be 60% clutch and 40% game manager in an NFL game. A couple of my QB targets are Cooper Rush at 75.0% and Desmond Ridder at 35.7%. Desmond Ridder had crazy clutch ratios like Tom Brady in their college careers. Ridder needs a coach like Canales. SB dynasty QBs are around 40% & clutch playoff QBs who make it to championship games are around 30% as a gauge. When you run this across the 64 championship QBs over the past 35 seasons you'll see the same result with a 3% to 5% swing from the start to finish of their career. This goes for the undervalued championship QBs like Case Keenum and Erik Kramer too. QBs come prepared from college knowing how to be a clutch performer. It's only the game management and system they need to be coached up on in the NFL.
