I feel like I've said this a lot now, but the fact that the ball is not thrown long is often not because Zorn didn't call a long pass. If there's no time to throw, you can't hit the long stuff. Notice on the one shot we did take. What happened? Miracle of miracles, the pass pro held.

Once we're having pass pro troubles, throwing the screen is not a bad move: otherwise, one of your main playmakers never gets the ball at all.

I think he should have run Portis more in retrospect--I'm not sure he was really shut down in that game--but I can see wanting to throw against the cowroids secondary.
