Q: On the play from the Seahawks game where Seneca Wallace had that run on their last drive, from a coaching standpoint when a player pulls up it looks like he doesn’t want to pick up the 15 yard penalty there, which we have seen quite a bit of this year. How do you coach that?
BB: Play until the runner is on the ground or he is out of bounds. We have seen that before – players and quarterbacks especially running to the sideline. They get to the sideline and then pull it down, stay in-bounds and try to tightrope it down the sideline or fake like they are going out of bounds and sprint past the defender. We just have to be alert in all of those situations and finish the plays. I wouldn’t say play until the whistle because that isn’t accurate anymore, but play until the runner is down and until the possession of the ball is clear at the end of the play.
