Wouldn't have been able to get the FG team on the field and get the kick off in time if they hadn't
Bullcrap
Whats bullcrap. If he Turner didn't get a first down then the clock didn't stop. They never would have gotten the FG team on and the kick off in seven seconds. And why not take the time out anyway, make sure everything and everyone is in place.
Unlike the Illinoise game, that was actually good clock management.
The clock stops when the time out is called. Period. Doesn't matter who is on the field, which down, etc.
11 year olds playing Madden know this. It's football clock management 101. This staff can't figure it out after hundreds of years experience.
Are you saying that the timeout didn't need to be called or that he should have let it run down a few more seconds before calling a timeout?
Common sense. Let the clock go down to 2 seconds.
