Am I retarded? Obviously not. You don't sit in the pocket for 5 seconds looking for an out....you go with a quick slant route and hit the receiver for + yards rather than a sack and gettin' put on your ***. It's common sense. I'd take 5-6 yards all day rather than 3 or 4 sacks looking for a bomb pass that isn't a given. I hope you realize, with 7 people on the defensive line rushing the Qb, that leaves 4 people to cover the field. Put a TE on the Line and cover a side, no back in the field motion him to get in a receiver postion. If no one covers him, that leaves him open. If they do, that pulls one of the other defenders off of coverage and leaves man to man atleast. If not, an open quick pass for the 5-6 yards. Troy Smith just had too much pressure on him and wasn't thinking. The plays called weren't the best either. Ohio State is a good team. They were just slackin tonight and had there minds somewhere else it seemed.
