...and away from the execution.

Your description makes it seem like the play called wasn't one that Book executes well yet. It might be a successful play when Book is more experienced, and the only way he's going to learn to read it correctly is to run it in games.

However, giving Book a play that challenges his coverage reading skills on fourth down in a close game seems like a bad idea to me. The call on 4th and short might be sheer genius a year from now, but it wasn't a good idea on Saturday.
