He called plays that Beck ran well, e.g. the bootlegs. Beck was effective & really didn't make any grave errors in the 2nd half until that int. when he & Hank "weren't on the same page."

So maybe we saw an adjustment from Kyle that no one really appreciates because we lost? The story was the D, too many guys had really poor games. Rak & Landry in particular. Landry looked terrible in fact. I think the Panthers showed the rest of the league how to play him in the run game; send a big WR right at him. He really sucked at shedding blocks on sunday, a few times I saw him diving into the blockers legs, taking himself out of the play.

Yeah except for that 4th down call his own dad said sucked.I dont see the need for any dropback pass's unless its a screen,I think they should all be rollouts.Gibbs use to have the rollouts and the lineman would rollout with the qb and form a protective pocket around the rolling out qb,I'd love to see that again.
Also I hate our use of the shotgun,we only use it on 3rd and long plays when the defense knows were going to pass and we suck at picking up the blitz.I'd rather have the QB in a rollout then shotgun to keep the defense somewhat honest.
I would like to see a drive consisting of all shotgun,not just 3rd down.Do it on first and mix a draw or screen with it
