Yes that play worked, and yes it was a touchdown, but I still have a big problem with it...
LaFleur stated it was not a QB option, and it was 100% a run play...
So on 3rd and short/goal, why didn't Rodgers trust the play? Why didn't he play within the system at the goalie?
And yes Rodgers got the touchdown, but look at Dillon, he would of easily made it in, at worse it would of been Dillon vs Ramsey with 6 inches and honestly Dillon probably would of gotten in before Ramsey got to him.
And if Rodgers thought that was blocked up... look at Randall Cobb, he's wide freaking open! Rodgers running it in, at most is the third best option there...
But why on a money down did Rodgers go outside the system? Is Rodgers cool when a receiver goes outside his system?
Yes, bottom line, does he get in or not? And he got in, so not a huge deal... but looking how the blocking was perfect for Dillon to bouncing it outside, or throwing it to Cobb... the fact that it was not supposed to be an option just makes it look a bit selfish to me...
And I don't like saying it, but at least on that play, Nerdmann rants of Rodgers going outside the system and trying to run up his own stats seems to be totally 100% correct, at least for that play.
