We haven't seen Jason Campbell be a one-man wrecking crew yet. If it were up to my, I'd put him in the shotgun for 70% of the plays and let it ride.

No doubt. I don't know about 70% of the time, but I agree that more shotgun and creative playcalling will be necessary. I think we should hit Rock on some nice screen passes, get Cooley more involved, and spread it around. I say we take a deep shot or two to Devin Thomas as well. He may not know the playbook perfectly, but a go route ain't that hard. He'll definitely see single coverage.

There is no doubt in my mind that Jason can pick apart the Dallas secondary. I hope we give him the chance. If we try to lean on Alexander like we do with Portis, we'll almost definintely lose. But I think Zorn is too smart to do that.

IMO this will be our most unique offensive game of the season (as compared to our frist 9 games anyway).
