What a sorry-ass shitbag game plan this guy put together. What a friggin pussy, he should be ripped into by Herm Edwards immediately.

Nick Douglas said:PLEASE tell me I didn't hear someone suggest play action on 3rd & 1. Please, for the love of football intelligence, tell me that. Say what you will about Hackett's call (looked to me like Jordan was at fault), calling play action on 3rd and 1, especially vs. a blitz, would be suicide.
Actually, here is an idea. Plug in Madden 2004 and play against a buddy. When you have 3rd & 1, run play action and have your buddy bring the house.

There is an exception to every rule. I can't comment on that play specifically b/c I don't remember it but I can tell you 3rd &1 in your own territory is a hell of a lot different than 3rd & 1 in the red zone.
Bottom line is you are inviting a sack if they blitz (which WAS did). Sack in your own territory is the worst possible scenario for field position. Sack in the redzone does not matter one bit b/c you get the 3 points anyway.
Simple football strategy. And teams run all the time successfully vs. the blitz, they just run wide. As I stated earlier, that is what the play call looked to be, but it looked like Jordan messed up. Blame him, not Hackett.
