Quote:If he was afraid of getting hit, he wouldn't have been standing so close to the sideline.  He'd have stepped back, instead of stepping forward like he did.  He made to trip him -- but knowing that would cause a penalty, pulled back at the last second.  What he caused was Jacoby Jones to change his running angle just so slightly to avoid being tripped.  The right move for Jones would have been to keep running forward and let Tomlin trip him -- but the split second decision tends to lean towards preservation rather than scoring a touchdown.  

 

Really there should be a rule that coaches can't step on to the field when a play is ongoing.
