100%. Terrible overreaction by Denbrock

And the Fields/slant thing obviously caught them by surprise.

One thing I think that might be worth looking at would be a 2RB set on short yardage. Say you have either Young and Williams or a Flanigan and Williams and you suddenly have credible threats up the middle with a dive or lead, to the outside with a toss or PA, or a short pass. It's surprising we never really got to see something like that with Love and Price, especially because Love was such a lethal lead blocker. It would work with this personnel grouping though - Williams especially tracks the ball very well in the short area
