X's and O's Question on Ivey play

[Calvin]

It's very strange. KJ is back there in case there actually is a punt. Ivey engaged the guy, turned and ran with him for 5 yards, then stopped, almost like he heard a whistle (not defending him). There's no way he thought KJ was supposed to cover over the top; KJ isn't covering anybody; he's the return man. So, if it's a punt, Ivey has to block the guy for KJ. If it's not a punt, Ivey has to cover the guy. Either way, Ivey has a guy as his assignment, and he just stops on the play.

Think about this for a minute. If right before the play Coach Diaz said any of your names, and said "get in there against their gunner." You'd say, "but I'm not dressed out, and I'm old." He says "I don't care, the U needs you," he snaps his fingers and you're magically dressed out, "now get out there." You say to yourself, "dream come true", you line up, trying not to **** your pants because you don't want to ***** up, and without any instruction at all, nothing, no help from anyone, you would have run with the gunner (regardless of whether it's a punt or a pass to your guy or even a run by the punter).

So, as stupid as a call it would be for Diaz to put one of us in the game, does he really have to tell Ivey to stay with the gunner?

I think you should watch the play again, bandy played the same technique as ivey, the only difference is, kj was in the middle, they had the db's playing quarters, plain and simple. People can blame ivey but the coaches jacked that up, it wasnt about safety help, the coaches called that crap relying on a condensed field, G-tech did a beautiful job selling it too, but that was the coverage called, just another classic case of getting out coached, plain and simple. This aint complicated, when is the last time you seen a deep pass on a punt fake, rarely if ever happens, fake punt passes are normally no more than 10 yards or 15 at the most. Its actually comical, we got bombed on special teams, cause the coaches played the odds wrong, lol.
