"Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"

Is it just me od do you guys feel that Zorn tried to run too much inside the redzone?
ran 3 in a row with starters. JC can move,why not try a rollout?
ok,time for practice.

I think it's defensible trying to convert a 3rd and 2 from the 3 yard line because he barely needs a positive result to get a fresh set of downs. Betts might actually have gotten to the sticks on the second down run, in which case, the one yard loss simply gives a 2nd and goal at the two.

I think that if you are going to run it twice, you should be able to run it three times, but I guess you have to get the kicker into the game sometime.

Zorn stinks at calling plays IMO. It's the freakin pre season and he's running the damn ball which wasn't the problem last year. I'd be throwing it almost every down.

Well, with guys like Dockery, Bridges, Rinehart expected to get playing time they didn't get last year it's important I think to get them some reps run blocking.

Still, it's a fine line in the preseason between just tossing plays out there and trying to simulate regular season offensive scenarios.

I think that Zorn is wasting the preseason.
He's admits that he hasn't been game planning:

"I guess a week ago, I felt like we were just running plays. It was like a practice, we didn't gameplan much; [this week] we gameplanned a little bit more. Our guys were much more intent on improving, because they could see what was going on on video. And they did, they showed much more enthusiasm for playing. They kind of understood some of the moments of the game, the fourth downs, the third downs"

Heck he isn't even running plays that they rep'd in practice:

"It was close,” said Kelly. “The crazy thing, though, is that me and Jason never practiced that route all week long. The first time we ran it was in the game. We'll get it done,
though—we'll complete it next time."

Meanwhile other teams are gameplanning and playing their starters for most of the 1st half.

JC hasn't even played enough to struggle.
I don't know what Zorn is doing, but i wish he was working on the offense.
The playcalling in the RZ was :confused:

I thought that we needed to work on the passing game especially the RZ.
But, Zorn chose not to call a fade route to Kelly or Thomas.
He didn't even call 1 RZ pass.
But, Zorn seemed to save his best playcalling for the 3rd team offense.

*Edit*- I'll be surprised if the passing game looks sharp against the Pats.

I was really p o 'd that on either 2nd and definitely 3rd, JC didn't fake the handoff, I think he would have walked in on the backside. I only hope that it is all in the playbook, and JZ just is keeping it basic. But a qb endaround would have given JC a lot of credo (especially if you walked a TE that way too) yes that ticked me off.
