Best coached play of the game....the safety

[mythoughts]

Well the announcers called the play before it happened, so it was obviously the right play call, if not the obvious one. It's not like it was some big surprise to everyone (unless you were watching the game on mute). I mean, I guess it was a good play.

I don't think the call for a Safety was neccessarily a great call. I think it was the obvious call...the only call that made any sense at all. It was the decision to call for the Safey AND to tell the Line to HOLD their opponents that made it GREAT. The 49ers had and all out rush to the Punter but no one could get to Koch because they were all being held and even tackled. Watch a replay of it - the Ravens made absolutely no attempt to even try and "block" it was an all-out manhandle that occured. The player that finally forced Tucker out of bounds was Chris Culliver and he only got there after his left sleeve had been pulled complete down below his shoulder pad. So instead of taking 3-5 seconds off the clock 8 seconds came off the clock. Otherwise the 49ers would've had time for a hail mary after the punt reurn.

The title of this thread says it all - "Best COACHED play of the game..."
