matty, in the other post i said we should run more because
A) brunell couldn't even hit the 4 yard passes, and
B) portis was consistantly going 5+ yards (4.8ypc) on one of the NFL's worst run defenses (the tigers have decent pass D compared to brunell's talents...)
philly obviously killed our run early, but i didn't see much of the zone blocking that had been working well... i saw gut runs straight into iggles...
this game ramsey was hitting nearly everything (lots of drops though
), but i can't honestly believe he was immediately throwing checkdowns, he was told to throw that crap over and over and over... )
I think our problems (in order) are playcalling, penalties, and referees... ramsey used shotgun formations at tulane, he used them last year, and he's done well with them... i was encouraged today because he was releasing quickly, wasn't staring down his targets as much, and was hitting his throws... I only saw one bad throw (into double/triple coverage in the end zone, which mccants almost came up with anyways)... I said in another thread, maybe an OC more current with the game, at least as a consultant... maybe trying shotgun again (gibbs has looked into it, when asked he said that there are X teams (3??) that don't use shotgun right now, meaning there's been some consideration), and maybe doing half field reads like they do for plummer... (maybe zone throws like spurrier used, heh)...
