And the consensus here is that your second response was the better answer. You either needed to 1) stay with your inside positioning for a tag play back into 2nd, or 2) work to the outside mirror of that spot, positioning for a tag at 2nd with a better look at what BR/R2 is doing. Moving toward third is what everyone is disagreeing with, as it added nothing and took you farther from your responsibility for a play back into second, and took you farther from your primary responsibility for the trail.
