I've said this over and over.. and every time they keep proving me right.
Garrett maintained he "thought it was the right thing to do" in letting the clock wind down and settle for a 49-yard field goal by a rookie kicker who'd already missed from 53 yards, and who'd made a 50-yarder only because of a fortuitous ricochet off an upright.
And Garrett considered it "not really appropriate" to think he might have added to the pressure on his kicker by then calling a timeout just before the rookie was trying that 49-yarder.
Instead of practicing game-ending strategies and special teams operations in such situations, my guess is they were practicing the "hook 'em horns" signs for endzone celebrations. You know, those things that actually matter in a game.
