play calling???

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

The playcalling was neither horrible nor great; it was just okay. The run wasn't working and I wish Zorn had called more passing plays. I realize you have to run the ball, even if you're getting 1 or 2 yards per carry, but we should have aired it out a bit more. I also don't understand why we don't use our redzone threats (e.g., Davis and Kelly) in the redzone.

I respectfully disagree. The play calling was horrendous. We ran on every first down but two until our final possession. We ran left 90% of the time when we ran. We ran stretch after stretch after stretch. The WR screen to the short side of the field at the 6 lard line on 2nd and goal was beyond terrible.

I'm convinced the formula for an effective offense is 65:35 pass, Campbell primarily from the shotgun. He was 14-17, 171, TD against the Giants from the gun. I am going to try to track that over the 1st half of the season and see how it bears itself out and if Zorn recognizes it as well and adjusts accordingly.

OMG I had somehow forgotten this. Watched the game w/ a group of friends, all huge football fans though mostly not Skins fans, and the room went completely silent for about 5 seconds when we saw that play cuz it left everyone speechless. I took me a while before I could scream WTF at the tv! Does anybody have the first clue what Zorn was thinking when he called this play?
