In the first quarter of the Monday night game between the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys, someone forgot to swap the RG III playbook for the Colt McCoy playbook.
That is the only way that this play call makes any sense. Colt fakes the hand off and then takes off like RG III, only if RG III was running on an injured ankle through molasses. McCoy can be “mobile” but his mobility is limited to buying time in the pocket, not dodging angry linebackers in the open field.
I mean, McCoy barely makes it back to the line of scrimmage with that slide (it was officially ruled a run for no gain but that just seems like a sympathetic spot). Between stuff like this and Tony Romo doing pirouettes into Washington linemen, NFC East football is the best.
