Flacco's TD pass to Wallace was an audible.

[757RavensFan]

Interesting to read that Joe checked out of a running play to a pass for the TD.  

One big misconception is Joe doesn't audible enough.  Well looks like he knows just when to audible.  Good job Joe. 

 

Quote

“It was a check,” said Wallace. “We had a run called. Joe [Flacco] just checked the play. We have a veteran quarterback that has been around for so long and has been in every situation.

“He knows the right thing to do every time, and it just came into effect. It was a great throw. All I had to do was run under it. I’ve been doing that for a long time.”

While the speedy receiver wouldn’t give the exact check away, he did say that they have plenty to keep opposing defenses guessing when Joe doesn’t like what he sees at the line.

In fact, Wallace himself wasn’t sure if the check out of the play was to him or not when Joe audibled during the second-quarter play.

“Honestly, I didn’t, but I knew there was a chance,” said the smiling wideout. “On that play, you have a lot of different options – I just got the right coverage.

“Steve [Smith Sr.] did a great job – he ran across the field, and the safety ran with him. I was one on one with the other safety. And, if you have a safety on me, he’s dead every time.”

I noted that Joe said this in his post game ... and there I was going to credit Trestman for doing something unexpected. On that area of the field, everyone expects that play on 2nd and short, but not necessarily on 3rd. It was the game changer.

Yeah I told my wife when that play happened that it took a big set of balls to call that play on 3rd and 1 in that spot on the field.

Much like the 4th down pass to Q in the Super Bowl.

Expect a lot of that with Wallace, Perriman, and maybe even Moore.  When Torrey was here, he and Joe were in sync when they saw man coverage with no over the top help.  Joe would audible out to a deep throw.  No reason not to expect Joe to do the same with Wallace and Perriman.

I can't wait until Breshad starts getting lots of playing time.  Not only to see him go deep but also knowing he'll go up and fight for a pass

[ThatsMyJoeTerback]

The one thing I noticed in the game was that Joe was audibling more and seemed to have more control at the line of scrimmage.

[Tiznut]

Yes it was an audible.  He's done it a few times over the years. Yes the discussion previously was that he wasn't able to audible under Cameron. So why is it still discussed that he's audibiling?  

[jimmypowder]

Just goes to show you that considering our only td was an audible , Trestmans play calling was garbage . 

[January J]

I saw it plain as day and I called it right before it happened. I saw him tap his head and I immediately said "watch, hes going deep right here for a touchdown" - then boom. Wallace and Joe clearly have got some chemistry already.

Yeah so tell me about every other play ran and which ones were audibles then.

I have no idea either. Maybe they just want to do the P Manning thing and more or less take the OC out of the equation. Send three plays in to Joe and let him choose what he likes

[Maryland]

Take THAT Cam Cameron!  

[sflegend89]

I think Wallace will be our leading WR this year. SSS will probably have the most receptions but Wallace is going to be Joe's home run hitter this year and rack up the most yds and TD's.

If Perriman starts getting comfortable, look out! That catch he made is something we haven't seen here, maybe ever. Boldin made some great snags for us but he doesn't have height/speed combination of Perriman. Crazy potential in that kid, super excited to see how he develops.

[trevorsteadman]

Scary to think our only touchdown Sunday was off of an audible... I wasn't too thrilled with some of the play calls. I hope the offense proves to score better and more consistently the next coming weeks.

Because it's a forum. Are you always just a ball of sunshine?

We've got a couple of those .

I think this team is all-in on situation football and I love it. I expect to see a different approach every week depending on the opponent. We have a ton of football IQ on both sides of the ball and it will pay dividends if we can stay healthy.

Yes are you always willing to rehash 4 yr old nonsense and act like its current?

 

curious if you knew how much kubiak worked with flacco so that the shock that he audibles should have ended years ago.

In the 2013 playoff run Joe called a couple key audibles in each game. Including that one dart to Boldin on 3rd and short everybody in the media considered to be an aggressive play call that set the tone against the 49ers. He did it before in the playoffs the year before. Flacco has used audibles before but they have not been as effective as they could be because he was switching offenses every single season. Now he is in year 2 in pretty much the same offense (they are switching from a Kubiak-Trestman merged playbook to Trestman's) that he probably is a lot more comfortable changing the play calls.

Yea it was a great decision on Joe's part.

Great audible and then even better decision making within the play. SSS was his first read; he knew theyd double one of Wallace or Steve and originally thought theyd give the help over top of Wallace so Steve would come open under neath, but when they doubled him he fired the perfect ball right into Wallace's path. Right in stride, no adjustment at all, and perfect trajectory.

@Tiznut i dont get what youre upset about. I dont think the point was "see Joe DOES audible." I think it was more like, our best play of the game was a Joe audible where he called the perfect play at the perfect time and made the perfect read. See, Joe is a guy that is really good at diagnosing the D and adjusting things at the line - bc a lot of times you STILL hear people talk about Joe as if hes got all the arm talent in the world but his decision making and pre-snap intelligence is a bit lacking.

And, it's not like its been 6 years since we've heard the noise that Joe doesnt or cant audible. You even mentioned Kubiak, which was Joe's last fully healthy season. 

 

I will say, however, that audibling to a deep shot when the D shows 0 coverage isnt exactly rocket science - especially when you see Wallace matched up with a safety. I mean, I do it every time the D shows it in Madden. So, if i can recognize it I'd sure hope that Joe can. The big difference, obviously, is then the execution/timing of it and making the proper read within the play.

Great route, great throw, proper decision making, perfect execution. We need to see more of it going forward.

[Tiznut]

Not upset about anything. Pointing out that  some of you are acting as if the same issues/reservations that happened 4 yrs and 3 coaches ago are hanging over Joes head now isn't being upset at all. But again it's the Internet and people have to claim others are upset for some reason whenever another person points out how ridiculous their observation is.  

 

So if it makes you feel better about acting like this is a rare occurrence by calling me upset sure. Go for it. Doesn't change the fact that he's been audibiling for years. 

[Tiznut]

Ps. In still waiting on jimmy to show which plays in the game were audibles and which were not to back up his post too

That was what impressed me the most about Joe's changing the play. It showed courage and confidence in his receivers as well as himself. The fact that it was a 3rd and short made it even more gutsy.

joe apparently does not agree since he does not audible out of every play call.

That's exactly what the point was.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Sincere question here:

Why does everyone seem to be so excited and making a big deal about Flacco's audible out of one play into a better play that just happened to result in a TD?  Isn't that what ALL quarterbacks are suppose to be doing?

More often than not people call it a good or bad play based on the team executing it as well.
