Warren pooch punt…

[JWB389]

Haven’t seen this discussed and did listen to the postgame….what was the controversy on the Warren pooch punt? Was that supposed to be a timeout? Or was that an act. Strange series of events there.

Allar was still the one calling the snap. The center couldn't hear him because he shifted out towards the side. Allar also said postgame that Minn was trying to mimic our cadence. He started getting animated because the ball wasn't being snapped and the play clock was running out, so he started to emphatically try to call a TO which wasn't granted, probably because it looked an awful lot like him clapping to try to get the center to snap the ball. Warren doing a pooch punt was the play call all along so in the end the correct play did run, but obviously the punt didn't go too well. Franklin said part of the conversation with the team after was to not panic in that situation and try to call the TO because a delay of game there had little meaning.

One thing Warren can’t do
