As far as the lack of deep passes, I dont think much of the blame can go to Campbell the wr's or even Zorn. I said this last year, and earlier this season . . .

1. WR's aren't going to catch many deep balls if only a handful come their way all season.

2. Moss, arguably the best option as a deep threat can't get seperation if he is being double and triple teamed.

3. Campbell can't throw deep balls if he doesn't have time to sit in the pocket and deliver them, let alone develop timing with his WR's.

4. Zorn can't keep calling the deep routes if Campbell keeps getting hurried, hit, sacked, etc.

Most of the blame has to fall on the O-line. I think our current starting recievers would be serviceable if Campbell had more time to make plays downfield, but clearly improvement is needed (especially from the rooks) for our passing game to be legit.
