Your counting is off. Hutson, Jones, Whitt, Sanders, and Worthy are all blocking that side. Once they set the edge the rest don't matter. If Sanders blocks that inside and then you can see Whitt is blocking down as well, the two pulling linemen are going to create enough muck to give Bijan an alley. The reason it all goes to shit is because they didn't recognize the DB as the new edge. Get his outside shoulder and Bijan is picking up the first. Simple as that. Everyone else is just chasing, and not going to get there before Bijan gets 4.
If you are a playcaller in THAT situation with THESE players you cannot drop back and throw it. Ewers is going to go for all the marbles. He is a gambler and loves the big play like a lot of young guys do. Who do you trust to make a play? Sanders and Worthy have dropped game winning balls on you before. Whitt is a gamble on getting open. Even so they are coming pass or run, and you won't have a lot of time to wait for something to develop. Your surest bet is to get the ball as safely as you can in your best player's hands with your best blockers blocking. So you draw up a play with Sanders and Whitt as the key blockers that would isolate your best player in space. You say it was a dumb call because it didn't work, but then again all of you have said every call that didn't work was a dumb playcall as I stated. Sark is coming out and throwing the sink at teams but then once they've seen everything and adjusted its about player execution. That's where we faulter.
