is that his responsibilty to see that or is that somethign jc should call out?

From what I understand, Rabach is responsible for calling the protection, and Campbell can change it (more specifically, he can change the play) if the front is not to his liking. Zorn protections, from what I understand, are specific to the team they are playing. So it's probably just on Ganther.

Of course, if Campbell had changed the play, he needs to give ample time for the line to sort the new protection, and the backs to adjust.

thanks, yeah that play stuck out to me i couldn't tell who it was on, it seemed like the tackle should have helped outside, but i don't know, but overall we had decent protection for what we have for most of the game. hope they kept it up
