Cousins checkdown on last play was vintage "process oriented" Kirk.
All routes covered = checkdown .. thats the binary computer rule.

O'Connell has shared some blame in that and rightly so. 4th and 8 you need your receivers all moving, all play and around or beyond the 1st down. Short yardage, yeah you can have a guy go out in the flat and beat his man on a quick play, but being pretty much stationary 2 yards downfield your guy is unlikely to reach the marker. Cousins may well have been looking for a sure fire completion over chancing his man going and getting the ball (which is probably why Jefferson had a quiet half), so yeah he should have taken a chance. But having your outlet receiver in a position where he'd have to make an awesome play to get the 1st down isn't smart either.
