I wasn't at the game, so I didn't see this or any of the other suspect plays that weren't called. Judging from the picture only, it looks like a horse collar for sure. But it doesn't look as if Brett is fully down or out of bounds. Once a QB starts running he is simply a running back, with some safety valves (throw ball away, slide, run out of bounds). Brett doesn't seem to be the type use those options when he can get more yards, so the defense is going to come after him hard. Just as we do when other team's QBs take off. And the harder we hit them the more we cheer. If our coaches are going to continue to run Brett as they did ACS before him, this is the potential consequence. At least ACS had some experienced QBs behind him. Running Brett can be very effective, but also foolish, unless you truly do have faith in the back ups.
DC's Mantra since Spring ball is that this is our deepest team since he's been here. With the injuries we've experienced already we'll get to see if this is the case. There's never a good time to have multiple injuries to key players, but if there was, this is the part of schedule to have them.
Best wishes to Brett for a full and quick recovery!
