GTripp0012I think it's very telling that Zorn had to call 4 straight plays to get the first down, and while getting the first down was getting progressively more unlikely, Zorn still managed to get it.

I agree with you Zorn got the first down with the draw, but the point I was trying to make is :
1. We have been running the draw during this 1-4 slide. (defenses are watching that)
2. Those overloading blitzes are not new to the NFL.
3. Wide receiver screen is a potent play we execute well, let us not forget the excitement it brings to the offense. No one does that play like Moss.
4.Wide receiver screens to Moss make overloading blitzes a gamble. Call it at the wrong time you giving up a TD.
5. After running a couple fo those at tehe beginning of the game as a reminder like Gibbs used to do, then Zorn can play with his WCO toys.
