Easier said than done. It's not just a matter of choosing to throw the ball downfield. Of course Zorn wants to throw the ball downfield if he can.

But if the line is pass protecting like shit then even if a receiver is getting deep, Campbell is going to check down to a hot or he's just going to throw it away.

And even when the line holds up, a WR has to get separation or Campbell will check it down.

You have to solidify the fundamentals before you can criticize Zorn's play calling. If the line is a seive, you can't blame him for calling 3 and 5 step drops. It all starts up front, and they didn't do their job last night. Ratliff owned Rabach and Randy Thomas. Ware did a good job on Samuels, and Jansen was continually pushed straight back into Campbell.
