I have watched the replay enough to let this call go. Its not likewhen they touched Cotch they jarred the ball loose. He didn't have it controlled.
I didn't see the game, but it is great if you can execute it, and catch the other team totally off guard. You have Leon that I think would be great for hitting another gear through the hole.
go :55 seconds into it. You can see that he has the ball cradled with both hands under it and up against his chest and... the bronco is making contact. I can understand that is was a close call, but you'd think that the refs would have defaulted to the guy on the ground rather than a guy who comes in and wrestles the ball away on the ground. I'm so sick of plays like this not being challengeable. What are they afraid of, every play should be challengeable.
I didn't like this playcall and I still don't. We had already had a muffed KO by Leon and a fumble by Jones, the CS knew the ball was very slick and they went ahead and called a play that required a pitch in the backfield to a wideout from a wideout in a trick play in the first quarter with both sides scoreless. Hell, Cotch couldn't even keep control of the damn ball when he was trying to recover it. I do think he had control before the defenders got to him but it's a moot point now. Still hate that playcall.
