BTW how stupid is collinsworth saying we should take a safety.
you clearly run a sneak there.
No. Nobody knew how much time was left. I figured 4-6 seconds. A safety is the correct call there.YYou would be kicking off with 1-3 seconds left. The moment the returner touches it they have to attempt the return.
But with 9 seconds the returner has time to give himself up and not return it.
A sneak is risky because the D is only looking for a strip.
they had already put 9 seconds on the clock
we knew there was that much time left when he suggested it
No we didnt. The safety was suggested during the. Review. Before they said put 9 seconds on the clock.
Then he said a safety does not kill you but he then questioned going for a safety with 9 seconds.
A safety is the absolute wrong move in that situation.
The announcers don't know sh*t about the game so let me explain why it's so wrong.
You take a safety it becomes 23-26 niners. You then have to kick the ball.
The return man then can either return it with no time left or (and this is the part most people don't get) he can call fair catch and the team can elect a fair catch kick for a free kick to tie the game.
That's why a safety is absolutely wrong in that situation. If the punt is short or even within 70 yards a fair catch kick is possible even with no time. This would tie the game and send it to overtime.
