I'd be interested to see exactly how many plays were drawn up that specifically targeted Kelly, Thomas, and Moss down the sidelines, 20 yards+, near or outside the numbers.

In the end, I suppose it's hard to make an assessment of the receivers when we're so hell-bent on pretending to be a power running team.

It's true that we'll never really know how good a job that the young receivers are doing in games where they aren't getting the ball much. I just have to assume that we simply didn't have enough balls to go around on Sunday. The solution seems simple: create more passing attempts, but Zorn seems like the kind of guy who is never going to throw more than 60% of the time no matter how glaring the defense is defending the run.

We should have success running on the Rams. They have pass rushers that we'll have to contend with.
