Watching it live, the field was open for him to run, he clearly had no intention. If he were to expand on that portion of his game there were a ton of yards left on the field.
I agree but I also don't really want him taking hits. So run it and if you can't get in without trying to run someone over step out or slide and we are sitting third and goal from the 1-2. I like our odds.
I'm not trying to dog on Carr either, dude played out of his mind. He has had a really long history of red zone struggles and RZ interceptions. I think he may lead the league in redzone pics since he came into the league. The RedZone is the area he has to improve the most. If that was 4th and goal with the game on the line then fine but it was 2nd and goal. Thank god when #2 turned his head he didn't locate the ball until it was halfway to Moreau and then made a really lazy play on it. It even looked like he got distracted when the ref threw his hat to signal that the players ran out of bounds.
The other saving grace was #2 stepped out of bounds so even if he had made the interception then it is illegal touching and wouldn't have counted. No way Carr picked up on that since he already had his arm cocked when Jackson stepped out.
I can guarantee Carr, Kubiak and DA are all saying the exact same thing in film study. Thankfully it did not matter and everyone makes mistakes.
It did bring back some good memories though as it reminded me of this.
Then the Packers did it in the playoffs last year.
