re: Here's a good link to the best view of the last play....

The more I watch it, the less blame I put on Milroe.


If the play was designed to go left, by the time he caught the ball at his shins, and looked up, he saw two defenders right where the play was supposed to go. I am pretty confident that he saw a clear path to the end zone, and there would have been, BUT Dippre let his guy crash all the way from his defensive end position across tackle and guard into the middle of the line. Tough block I reckon. Great play by the d end. But it seems to me that Proctor should have helped Dippre keep him from crashing down.

Instead 74 tries to go to the next level to block the LBer who didn't need to be blocked because he had vacated entirely with Williams's motion to the left. Proctor ends up blocking NO ONE.

And then Dippre not only lets the guy crash the middle of the point of attack, but as he tries to stay with him he also clogs the middle up even more, which effectively left Milroe zero room to do anything. Latham getting destroyed and crashing into him was the icing on the cake. If the play was blocked correctly, he would have walked into the end zone. I'd argue that if the snap isn't bad, Milroe has time to clear Latham, making him getting destroyed a non-factor.

I think that Milroe probably committed too early, but that is a pretty tough situation, especially with the snap at his shins.
