Man... they just keep talking about the intricacies of this, and it just keeps looking worse and worse for them.“No, to be honest with you,” he said. “I think I would have caught the ball and let the coaches and Ben make the decisions, because I’m a receiver, and it’s a pyramid, and I don’t want to say the rest.”
The Steelers did not have Brown, who was injured, or Martavis Bryant on the field for the third-down interception. Bryant wasn’t in the game on second down because he didn’t know the particular play the Steelers chose to call, according to Haley. Because the clock was running, Pittsburgh couldn’t substitute after Heyward-Bey was tackled.
“We don’t want the ball on the field of play there without a timeout,” Haley said. “I’m never going to question Ben or Ben’s decision of thinking Hey-Bey could get out of bounds. But as far as scenario, we’re in an incomplete or out-of-bounds situation. The clock will not be running if things go the way they’re supposed to go. You’re getting the guys on the field for each particular play you want on the field. You’re counting on having three shots at the end zone.”
The Bryant situation is why I'm assuming the Pats have their receivers learn every receivers routes. How long has Bryant been with the team now? Get up to speed quickly Britt!
Also, as far as scenario Haley, you weren't in an incomplete or out-of-bounds situation. You forgot one of them, and you didn't plan for it. Thus you end up with the cluster you had at the end.
