Greg McMahon the Gigantic Idiot would have recommended that play to Payton for that situation, and Payton signed off on that idiocy to use in that situation. Both need the blame for that one...Greg the Moron for design plus recommended that stupidity & Sean Payton for approving it to use.

This play ranks up there with AB's backwards pass in Jacksonville, but that was on AB. He turned that play into pure idiocy...last night's idiocy was the incompetence of Greg the Moron and the lack of judgement by Sean Payton.

It's an offensive play. I thought I was pretty clear in explaining my point. If you're going to run a play that is designed to pick up yards on a 4th down (far different from running back a punt or kick), then who is going to design that play? You have you're special teams guys in there, but that is a not a situation you leave up to your ST Coordinator to come up with. That's my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe you're wrong.

But as I said, it doesn't really matter who came up with the idea, because the head coach obviously signed off on it. And we can all agree that it was mind blowingly stupid.
