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.

That's why we need to do it on 1st down. I remember once JC found ARE over the middle for 20 on first down. Also sometimes you just need to throw and try and make a play. I think the play that pissed me off the most was when Dallas' 2nd string TE made a play even though Horton had him covered. Sometimes you just have to throw it down there and either let your guy make a play or get a PI. Also maybe Zorn needs to adjust. Max protect of start rolling JC out some more. Yes the protection was bad but I didn't see us adjusting to what Dallas was doing.
