Much praise was given to Brian Westbrook last night, and deservedly so, for going down at the one yard line. Turns out, Jon Runyan influenced the decision. Nicely done, big guy. From the DN:
“I just want to help this team win — and I got a stern talking-to
by Jon Runyan right before that play,” Westbrook said. “He said,
‘Listen, if you get down to the 1, take a knee.’ I was like, ‘Ahhh ...
’ He said, ‘Take a knee, Westbrook, take a knee.’”Then,
during the play, Westbrook said: “I looked back and I saw all 6-7 or
6-8 of him running toward me saying, ‘Get down.’ So I got down ...
Runyan, he’s our offensive leader out there. He’s a coach. So he helped
me out a little bit there.”
Teamwork!
