Game calls can't be just, 'Oh, by the way,' as part of a larger discussion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of different things go into calling the run game - especially at the line of scrimmage.
The angle from which the line and ball are seen makes a tremendous difference in the call, and the player who is inclined to fret inwardly about decisions should realize this.
There's times when one play makes the whole difference, one calls makes the whole difference. And tonight it was that call.
I would say the referees have the toughest game to call. I would say that there's a lot of officiating done by announcers, local announcers. Sometimes you should listen to a game from both feeds, and you'd think you were listening to completely different games.
There's not a lot of time to have conversations on the field during the game. That's where the trust and the practice comes into play, through practice, through off-site throwing sessions; that's where you build that trust and build that cohesion with a wide receiver.
You have to be careful of people who like to talk a big game but can't back it up.
I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.
The game's the thing. That's why people tune in. They don't tune in to hear an announcer.
I talk by playing, not by words.
I think that it won't be long before a team calls that says, 'Just go do what you do'.
