I know there has been some debate on this. Here is the coach's film view. Safety had the angle on him on the outside. Looks like maybe he was hoping for at least a little help from Funchess in blocking. He got none. 

 

In my ignorant opinion, If he goes outside he might get tackled at the 30 or 25 at best the 20 and the position Funchess is in would be a block in the back.

As much as a block could have helped, I'm OK with this, because we'd probably get a penalty.

I think if he cuts outside that's a TD but I'm still loving the play.

I love how people watching the game on TV know better than a first-round draft pick which way he should cut on any given play.

We have a large number of coaches of the year, NFL all pros, and top tier GMs posting on this board.

He should have cut inside later and then immediately back outside, turning the safety's feet just long enough to burst by him.

That's what I was thinking, he just cut inside too soon.

I hate it when rookies make rookie mistakes. end sarcasim

Yup.

Great run, but a slight misstep....I'm not mad.

Trent Richardson would like a word with you.

38 yard run and you guys let some troll rustle your jimmies about the 10 he didn't get. if this play disappointed you in the slightest, you're looking for a reason to be disappointed. that's no way to live.

I mean, this right here explains a lot:

 

22	McCaffrey, Christian	RB	5-11	205	21	R	Stanford
26	Worley, Daryl	CB	6-1	205	22	2	West Virginia
40	Armah, Alex	FB	6-2	255	23	R	West Georgia
92	Butler, Vernon	DT	6-4	330	23	2	Louisiana Tech
91	Cox Jr., Bryan	DE	6-3	270	23	R	Florida
17	Funchess, Devin	WR	6-4	225	23	3	Michigan

 

^The 6 youngest players on the team. People wanna call 3 of them a bust though, just like they did the sixth.

You could pretty much take every single play on the field and say, at some point, "well if he would have just done this"...

You're never going to have someone who makes all the right decisions. It's  enough to have someone who makes more good ones than bad ones.

FYI: This also applies to quarterbacks passing.

not sure what all the hooplah is over him cutting inside...at the same time, he shouldn't have cut inside. period.

he almost scored a touchdown by cutting inside...he might have scored a touchdown if he kicked it outside.

it was a big play. kudos to the kid.

If funchess had just bumped his guy a little it would have been 6 points. Lack of help from 17 hurt more than not sticking to the outside.

This is how I feel.

He needed a lil help but with this crazy debate about our or in imo he accomplished what he was trying to accomplish get by the safety just happened to get tracked by a non blocked CB. The move worked regardless how we see it the move was to get by the last line of defense and he did a dam good job of that.

Wonder how this happened...or is it just the way it is on team boards?

Maybe we got spoiled by Cam overproducing his rookie year, or maybe KB with his 1k rookie year?  Either way, it takes a couple years for most of these players to put it together.
