Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1181881, member: 204"] I can't blame Desir's dropped INT on the coaches. He dropped the ball. Kendal Moore dropped the ball. West failed to make a play - admittedly a tough play. But great talent makes the play when it has to be made. The Kirkland fumble recovery is of course a different issue. Do you pick up the ball and be the ultimate hero? Or do you just drop on it? To me it's a decision that has to be made on the field. And I say that because there are times when the right decision is to pick up the ball. As a coach I think it's hard to impose a bright line rule in that situation. Would I have preferred the bright line rule - just drop on it - at that point? Obviously now, the answer is yes. But I also have to think about other instances where this defense has run and scored with a fumble. So, that one is hard for me/. [/QUOTE]
