How in the hell he thought sending Kolby Smith into the line 3 times in a row was a good idea, when Kolby was averaging about a yard a carry, just floors me. All day, your QB has been on target, and able to run the ball really well himself. Our goal was to get a first down- Herm's play calling made that impossible.
Of course, as with all hindsight, if Derrick Johnson would have caught that INT before running with it, we might not be posting in a thread like this.
