I do. We're up by 2 scores and unlikely to need them for clock management. Make them line up, show their look, etc.

Shame they converted anyway on some dumb cross-field prayer throw, but that's good game management imo.

Have you seen us at end of games this season?

3 runs, punt followed by getting ball back after they score and 3 runs and out

Then panick and try to score

I get what you're saying, but I don't know why this makes it wrong to use 1 of 3 timeouts in a high-leverage situation. All I'm saying. Timeouts really don't need to be solely hoarded for potential clock management purposes, especially when up by multiple scores.

Didn't help but doesn't mean it wasn't a good call. Took away his read, got good pressure and forced him to throw a hail mary back across his body. Tip your cap and move on.
Right. Gotta judge process over result when evaluating decisions.

Now that timeout that MM tried to call?

We obviously had 12 (or even 13) confused men on the field. That would've been a highly annoying timeout burned solely due to sloppiness.

The bigger question is why were there 13 out there?
