Yeah, the way you adjust for poor pass protection is to throw shorter, quicker passing routes -- which is exactly what everyone is complaining about. So until they learn how to pass block, Zorn will have to get the ball out of Jason Campbell's hands as quickly as possible. And that means no deep ball.

It's kind of a catch-22 isn't it? We can't throw deep because of the pass rush and they play closer to the line because we don't throw deep. On the play after Moss dropped the long ball, I think we got good yardage on the next play if I remember right. Even if we don't complete the deep pass I think we at least need to show it.

I agree Beemy, the roll out stuff to the weak side has to be cut out, plus those lateral screen type passes. God JC almost was picked twice with those quicky horizontal screen passes. Coach needs to throw out plays altogether or tweak the WCO if it is going to work with this bunch. I can't just believe our veteran line all of a sudden sucks eggs. I think the system has some glitches in it.
