Now it was 2nd and 1, so Turner called a run. It didn't work, so he called anothe run on 3rd and 1. Still didn't work, so he just did it again. I think Turner explained it in that article along the lines of, "Well, it <I>should</I> have worked..." And, yes, he's right. It should have. But you shouldn't be calling plays on principle, either. Part of the reason it didn't work all three times was that San Diego clearly knew exactly what Chicago was trying to do. At the very least, it seems like maybe third of fourth down would've been a great time to bring Hester in--even if just as a decoy. It would've made the defense have to think just a little bit. <BR/><BR/>I understand that you should be able to get one yard on three running plays, but that's not a reason to refuse to try anything else. <BR/><BR/>Maybe if Hester and Wolfe get more involved in the offense throughout the season, by the time the Bears are in the playoffs Turner will think of them as enough a part of the offense that they'll get included in the meat part of the offense...Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646673914551357948noreply@blogger.com
