The forward pitch is a safe play


Posted Oct 29, 2009


Late in the Jets win over Oakland, Mark Sanchez fumbled an attempted forward pitch to Thomas Jones. He was about to flip it, but then a defender blitzed into the area, and he tried to pull the ball back and fumbled. Most fans and reporters assume that this is a dangerous play, but Brian Schottenheimer told the press on Thursday that offensive coordinators actually consider this a safe play.
