Team A runs a reverse (I agree - not good)
Now wait a minute! They've got their scrubs in, and you don't think the scrubs should get a chance to go deep into their playbook?

From a coach's perspective, I think the players who usually warm the bench look at it as a new game when they go in. Forget 42-12, that game's over. In their heads they're keeping a new score from the time the benches were cleared. Oh, and they don't care about that holding call, they're counting the TD.
