Yeah, but throwing it at Judon's feet would have drawn an intentional grounding flag for 5 yards and a loss of down. So that wasn't really an option either. I think we're very much missing McCoy out there and a protection call was missed.
I haven't looked at the play again, but according to Underhill it was Juwan Johnson that missed the block on Judon that let him come free. That's two big mental mistakes from Johnson yesterday.
