Monday Morning Quarterback












What makes the first half of this clip so great is that the coach called a sweep play that involves a pulling guard. For those of you out there that don't know what that means, the short version is that pulling a guard leaves the quarterback less protected on purpose.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the coach meant for Kerry to be tackled, after all the play involves the ball leaving the quarterback's hands relatively quickly when he flips it to a sweeping back. However, the hole that the pulled guard left open allowed for the enterprising young linebacker to easily scramble for the ball in the backfield after Kerry's flip flopped.

It's our guess that the coach merely has a sense of humor. If he were a Republican, he would have called a screen pass.
