If you complete the pass, the announcers praise you for being such an aggressive alpha dog. So would the guys who start threads about successful drives taking too long, no doubt.

Opposing coaches know to focus on Johnson and Beasley on 3rd down, the outside receivers need to make plays in those instances.

Obviously the run should be an option too, but without Line it wasn't yesterday.

MOM---I never said anything wrong about the 3rd and 2 passes, I don't have a problem with taking a chance.....drives that are pre-designed and take way too long in the second half when you DON"T have time to win are not alpha dog. IMO
Besides, at least with the INC on the throw, the clock stops.
