2Q10:55 Nichols burnt.  Nichols playing hurt?  Seems to be missing a couple of high gears?  Hips getting old?

2Q1:32 LoS crosser route with Dru backpedalling and a wide-open flat -- to Corcoran!! Big gain on 2nd & 3.  BE BOLD!  This is the famous Condell LoS crosser that he used against us (and everyone) back in HAM -- with Speedy B et al running that route.  It used to drive me nuts as it worked nearly every time.  Glad to see it here.

2Q0:00 Major & Coxie already getting heated: Coxie head-butts Major for no reason with no hope of another play or further yards.  Then as they both go OOB Coxie takes a huge open-hand swipe at Major's head: yes, a distinct instance separate from the one that got him DQ'd.  Given the new rules, he could have been ejected for that.  He was just more careful to make sure it was just inside/at the whistle while refs aren't looking for extracuriculars.

3Q5:50 The Dru INT in EZ with Pokey: the play was discombobulated before it started.  Why?  Because Dru realized in the huddle they were out of time and was hustling everyone to get ready, and they weren't.  Pokey probably didn't know the correct call, or know he was "it".  He was only jogging the route.  He needs to take a timeout there, or throw to a more conservative target.  Maybe have a default play to run when time is out, like a Brady run perhaps?
Never go full Johnston!
