Theismann made a great point during MNF.

[The Zimmermans]

Saunders is a smart guy, he realizes that brunell has a tough time goin down field, and he's immobile in the pocket. So he figured to go to our strengths, get the ball out of mark's hands fast, and get it in the hands of our speedy, dangerous backs and receivers. However, when saunders attempts to keep the defense on its heels with occasional deep balls, mark checks down, gets sacked, or throws the ball out of bounds, making these short plays predictable and inneffective in the end. Saunders is just trying to cater to what we have. He does run the ball a lot, just not when we are down by 2 scores, naturally.
