I lived in the Pacific NW for a while and no surprise H was everywhere and I also know folks that went the same route successfully. It’s could absolutely save lives if used in the right way
I think this failed play was a huge momentum swing also. down 7-0 youre starting to drive then you stall on that horrible play where clearly you shouldve ran it then we gave them the ball back at midfield when your defense still hasnt woken up.
