I just can't help but think...
3 times in the last year we've seen unforced goal-line drops. JT did it twice, though it didn't cost us last week as he just barely managed to get it across. And now AD.
Whose job is it on the coaching staff to get these guys to learn how to carry the rock?
I stick with my game thread comment: make every skill position player on offense run sprints from the 30 through the back of the end zone indefinitely and no ball should touch the ground for any reason during this.
Or make a new team policy - every touch down must involve running through the back of the end zone with the ball in hand and then giving it to a ref. No spikes, no celebration until after you've done that. Even if its a goal line dive and you're tackled just across the goal line, still make it required that you get up with the ball and walk it through the end zone. Fine anyone who doesn't follow this team rule.
