That was my first reaction, but thinking about it more, I have a feeling that Zorn basically outsmarted himself. Remember CP had pulled a 20+ yard run only a few plays ago, and I am sure Zorn felt everyone would be playing pass, so, lets run again. I don't agree at all, and think a play action on first would have been a far better call, but c'est la guerre

Play action would have been a good call. But as far as the run, if I am not mistaken, the offense was set up in a 2 TE set with 1 WR and a 2 back set. If I am on defense looking at that offense, I am thinking run first and keeping my LB's at home.

The least they could have done was allow JC the "luxury" of an audible if he counted too many Giants jerseys in the box.

I think that is was Campbell was thinking on the play that he audibled to.

You are the only other person besides myself that I've ever known who actively uses the phrase "c'est la guerre." Outstanding job!
