Just sayin... I bet you $100 if Payton was on the sidelines yesterday, he throws it and tries for a 1st down to kill it ourselves in victory formation.
I dunno. The last time I remember being in a situation like that was 2008 with Deuce in the backfield. He ran up the gut and broke out for a 15-20 yard run.
And was it last year or this season where Drew was backed up in the endzone and threw an intentional grounding (which meant a safety)? I'm trying to wash the first three games from my memory.
So, I think running was ok, but running effectively would have been better. I think a misdirection play would have been better than just a power run.
