They thought the defense had jumped so they snapped it.
But I kind of agree, at this stage in the game they don't need the free 5 yards. Just let it go to the 4th Quarter and hand it off to James Cook on 2nd and 1
After that first drive we haven't blitzed much and surprise surprise our defense looks better.
Every time McDermott blitzes someone should slap him with a wet fish.
