Q: Can you explain the pick play, and why did they seem to be called differently Monday?
A: First of all, on the touchdown to wide receiver (Reggie) Wayne. That wasn’t a pick play. That was a bubble screen. We don’t use picks. They’re called rub routes. It’s in the eye of the beholder. The wide receivers converge. The defensive backs converge. To be very truthful, I don’t know what standard the officials use to call it. They’re obviously crossing. There was one early in the game that Houston completed that we thought might have been a foul, but it wasn’t. Then, they got us on a big gainer that we thought wasn’t a foul. It’s in the eye of the beholder. There is a difference between a rub route where two receivers converge and the bubble screen, where you’re trying to get the ball to the wide receiver at or behind the line of scrimmage and get blockers out in front of him. Two different plays.
