[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 34793, member: 196"] From a post at Packers chatter: This is an excerpt from Larry McCarren's weekly chat over at the GBPG in which he talks about what went wrong during the shovel pass play that resulted in Favre throwing an interception: Darcy G., Elm Grove, WI: Pure BS, Larry, is just what all this negative talk about Favre making bad decisions is all about, too.. My question pertains to the ill-fated play before the half.. was that supposed to be a shovel to Fisher, with Fergy as the hot read the event of a blitz? My gut tells me that either Fergy didn't pick up that it was a blitz, or he figured it was covered - which it was. Meanwhile, Brett's option to Tony Fisher was gone. Any insight? LM: Darcy, It was just a poor play on Brett's part. A shovel pass was called and even though the Bears were blitzing, the play had a chance. Chicago was blitzing from Brett's right, but the shovel was supposed to go left. If Brett drifts a little left, like he's supposed to, he can make the pass away from the rush. At worst it's a couple yard gain, at best, if Fisher can make somebody miss, a touchdown. Also, the play has a safety valve receiver, but he's out in the left flat. What happened is Brett felt the pressure from his right, reacted around it to his right, and launched to a receiver who had no idea a pass might be coming his way. The resulting interception changed the complexion of the game. [/QUOTE]
