I Have Some Concern About Ryan Day’s Play Calling Choices

We’ve seen this story before with Day when he falls in love with the passing game and either costs us the game or makes the game unnecessarily close.

  • There was no reason to pass 50+ times. Typically a team would pass for that much when a) the run game is horrible and you don’t have a running back to lean on or b) you’re behind on the score board. Neither was the case today. 
  • He put CJ in situations where he could fail and make a young mistake. That near fumble should have never happened because the coach shouldn’t have called that play in the first place
  • Day’s lack of commitment to running the ball put the game into jeopardy. Passing the ball instead of killing the clock isn’t something that a veteran coach would do

Day has to have more balance and we are going to struggle if we don’t.
