Jim Caldwell: Head Coach Defends Timeout That Lost Game

Jim Caldwell tried to defend his baffling timeout call in the final minute of Saturday night's game versus the Jets, but I challenge you to find anything in his rambling statement that make one bit of sense.

Caldwell started talking about Santonio Holmes, moved on to the Jets kicker, and he may have even started talking about how yummy his ham sandwich lunch was, because he never really did give a good answer why he called a defensive timeout when the clock was running down and the Jets were under the gun.

Instead, he allowed Mark Sanchez to run to the sideline, catch his breath and get coached up. One play later, the ball bounced the Jets' way and that was basically the game.

The Colts all of a sudden have serious talent issues going into next season and need a very good draft to stay the elite team they've been. This won't matter a lot, though, if you have Romeo Crennel Version 2.0 on the sidelines, unable to figure out the basics of the game and clock management when things matter the most.
