re: The problem with the 4th and 31 defensive play call

Asking the DBs to cover sideline to sideline is not that big of a deal especially when you have numbers (our 8 DBs to their 5 or 6 wr) and it’s only the end zone they have to cover. I would’ve called a similar play. Get you and 7 of you buddies to stand in the end zone and see how little space is left…….we’re giving these players a pass and putting too much on Roberts which held a good Alabama team to 27 points even after a bad muffed punt.
