No joke. When that happens you've just got to kick the ball out the back of the endzone. I don't know wth Dierdorf is talking about saying he should have fallen on it at the 1 and let the defense try and stop them.
I think his original plan was smart but execution wasn't so good. Looked like he was trying to throw a pass, making it a turnover on downs? Would that have been a legal play?
I think it would have been legal. Best case scenario there is you give up 3 points, but from the 1 with a full set of downs, it's most likely a TD. Kicking it through the endzone is the smart play there IMO.
If he would have successfully thrown and incomplete pass and it was legal, it would have been 1st and 10 from the original line of scrimmage. He didn't have that kind of time though.
You're right. An incomplete pass would have put the ball back at the original LOS. He would have had to avoid a grounding call though, and with all the guys in the outside of the formation headed downfield to cover the punt and the ball still probably in the tackle box, I doubt there was an eligible receiver near enough to pull that off.
