That fucking baffled me. So frustrating seeing them trying to expect Rudolph to break off big YACs, especially in screen situations where he starts behind the LOS, it's a miracle Rudolph got 5 yards on that play.
Not. A. Good. Play. Call.
I have to assume, or atleast hope that wasnt the desired outcome. Something must have gone wrong and it was Rudolph or a sack.
Looked like the weirdest "safety valve" route evah.

Speaking of tight ends, where is Irv Smith Jr?

It looked to me like it was going to whoever was standing there. Luckily he was eligible. That's about the only penalty they didnt have.

To me it looked like the play design. Roll out right and swing the screen to Rudolph back left. But who knows. Lets say that he was the safety valve on that play and not the intended. There should never be a play designed, ever, ever, ever for a NFL offense that has a route designed for Rudolph like that. It does absolutely nothing.

I may not be remembering how the play set up totally. I am at work and was doing stuff as I was watching.

Regardless, I agree. Rudolph shouldn't be used on that play. Irv smith if they insist on using g a TE.

I think that play goes in the trash going forward though.
