Via Stephen Hawkins of the Associated Press, Quinn said the situation has actually been covered in practice before.
Minutes later on, Zuerlein struck the game-winning field goal for a 40-39 return, leaving the Falcons to wonder how it took place, and why.
“Weve simply got to discover that weve got to assault that ball and things like,” stated wide receiver Julio Jones, who was on the field, but not amongst those closest the ball.
That may really make it even worse.
When Greg Zuerleins kick started slowly rolling their way, it appeared that broad receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, safety Sharrod Neasman, and tight end Hayden Hurst were awaiting the ball to go 10 yards. Cowboys cornerback C.J. Goodwin ran around tight end Jaeden Graham to recover the ball.
” Weve got to go capture it when the minute comes … From where I saw, it was a slow roller and one that we must make the aggressive transfer to go get it,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn stated.
Despite the fact that his players stood there shocked, as if they didnt know what to do with the unusually spinning onside kick, Falcons coach Dan Quinn stated they do, in reality, comprehend the rules that enabled them to recuperate it.
” The front 3 are normally blocking as the high bouncers go to the second side, so the front line, normally on an onside kick, theyre looking to get a block initially, then the high hop goes to the next gamer,” Quinn stated. “So when that circumstances occurs and its not one thats a high hopper you move in and you go to your ball … They definitely understand the guideline.”
It suggests the execution of the play was simply horrible if you offer them the advantage of the doubt on that.
