Re: 'Bring the Pain' Stepping away from the panic button, slowly
Ok...here are my thoughts.
Not much has changed since the end of last year.
You just witnessed a typical 6-10 type team.
Outcoached, outplayed in Offense, Defense...probably beat them in special teams though.
We were essentially dominated...except the Giants cant get TD's when close...just like us.
What are the issues?
You got it....passing game suspect, pass rush a bit suspect...but a bit better.
Can't stop opposing offense on long drives in the 4th when losing.
QB takes too long to throw.
But the biggest of all of these is lack of creative playcalling.
Outside of offensive line injuries last year (which I think is a bit of a scapegoat approach). Zorn's offense can be easily game planned. There is very little creativity.
The bottom line is that when you cannot throw deep effectively, you need to use misdirection to get the Dline to slow and to get 8 out of the box.
I happen to like the ARE play...perhaps it was at the wrong time, and it was poorly executive, but it showed intention to take risks to win. Unfortunately, other than the special teams fake FG. There was very little to shake things up offensively.
Zorn should use Shotgun, Hurry up....which Campbell excels at and also eliminated Dline rotations. Sweeps, reverses, Screens of all sorts, draws, play action, etc.
Where is the 2 TE set?, Where were the rookie WR? is Campbell afraid to throw to them?
Why not bench Santana and throw in one of the Big guys when he is being shut down?
Where are the 2nd half adjustments?
I haven't seen them yet under Zorn.
Also...why not attack the Giant's weakness....they had a starting corner out...did anyone even notice?
Most of this game exposed our weaknesses in Roster....but a good coach with good playcalling can cover most of those and attack the weaknesses of opponents.
This did not happen...
I am more disappointed with coaching than the players at this point.
That is what worries me the most right now
