The play SHOULD have been fake stretch left, QB boot.

The bootleg (to the wide side of the field no less) was WIDE OPEN. The backside CB crashed down so even if there was only 1 TE in the pattern, we would have had either Campbell walking into the end zone or an easy toss to the TE. If I can figure that out from my easy chair, why can't Zorn figure it out from the sidelines?

It's that denseness/arrogance/idiocy that will ultimately get him fired.

I don't know. It's game three, and last year for the first 11 weeks or so, we could get that same yard whenever the hell we wanted it.

At this point, I would say we're probably not going to be able to pound for that yard whenever we want to get it, but the notion that we should be able to get a yard on the GL by keeping it simple can't be understated.

Of course, if it ain't true, it ain't true. Then you have to show the defense something alternative.
