Quote:I like the Play were Hurns got the first down on replay, but the ruling on the field was OOB prior to the 1st. Rather than rushing to throw the challenge flag, Gus put the offense on the field on 4th and 1 and tried to draw an offsides before throwing it. It wasn't anything big, but It was something I noticed.

 

I also liked that the Jaguars went 5 wide inside the 5 and put the ball in Bortles' hands. The staff has finally realized that we have good redzone targets.

 

Slightly off topic, but, if I was a head coach, I would designate one assistant coach up in the booth to talk to me whenever a major decision came up.   More than one guy would be chaotic, so just one guy, and not a major assistant like a coordinator, but some quality control type of guy who has to know every rule in the rulebook.   That guy would tell me, line up and try to draw them offsides, then throw the challenge flag. 

 

There is so much swirling around a head coach during a game, I would want to have one calm brainy guy up in the booth who knew all the rules and could be in my ear on major decisions, if only to keep me from doing something stupid.   "Take the 5 yards and automatic first down, coach, so we can run more time off the clock."  Stuff like that.  (Because there was one situation yesterday where we could get 5 yards and an automatic first down, and Gus was hesitating for some reason.)
