The Official "Lets Open Up The Offense Jim Zorn" Thread

I Know what everyone is thinking with this thread. We have the 7th best offense in the league and Portis is having the best season of his career.

This is very true.

However, by giving the ball to Portis so much, I think that it is not allowing Campbell to establish a rythm and it is going to wear down Portis for the playoffs.

Another problem is that our offense ranks 23rd in points scored with 20 per game. We have played two teams that we are much better than the last two games and we lost one and barely pulled off a victory today. Next week we go on the road to play Detroit. This is a really bad team right now. So that does not mean we have to play down to the competetion like we always do.

Lets open up the passing game and Campbell involved and blow these guys out. No reason we should win by atleast 17 and I will be disappointed with anything less. If we are a Super Bowl team, then show it to me.

fail.

I wonder if Jason Campbell is playing just a tad bit tight because the interception streak is on his mind?

Hard to knock a guy for not throwing INTs. Most of the long throws yesterday were actually short or intermediate passes that turned into long completions because of RAC yardage.

With the effectiveness of the running game, play action should be deadly against our opponents. But it's not.

JC tweaked his groin yesterday and I think Zorn just wanted to protect him the rest of the way. And with Brown's D that was awful against the run why not just pound them all day long?

I think the Davis end around was supposed to be a pass but he didn't throw it, and the 2 Campbell runs were called pass plays. All in all, they rode the legs of Portis because JZ knows he is the one that gets it done.

Exactly. If your opponent can't stop it, run it til they do.

I think the run is going so good they would be foolish to go away from it. By running the waythe Skins are, it allows JC to be more selective in his passes and not feel like he has to win the game by himself.

I am sure that as the opposing teams start creeping up to stop portis, the passes will come. Right now teams are trying to shut down Santana, but eventually they have to try and stop CP. I really would love to see a true beat down of Detroit this week.

Yeah. Pretty much how I feel. The great thing about the current formula is that CP's play is guaranteeing some good clock control, and the D is playing well enough to ensure that we don't fall too far behind and end up having to switch gears on the offense to play catch up (i.e., we don't have to start relying exclusively on the passing game).

By the way, was it already mentioned in one of yesterday's threads that the
4th quarter touchdown the D gave up was the first touchdown the D had given up since the 1st quarter of the Eagles game? If so, sorry to repeat, although it does indeed bear repeating.

So glad to be starting off another Monday following a win . . .

I'm in the run the ball camp, run the ball some more, and by god, run run run! If you can get 5 yards a pop, it's no brainer...wear that defense down and feed the beast that is the O-Line and let the dominate.
