When a coach talks about losing because of "execution," it's just a fancy way of saying: "Don't blame me, the players screwed up my perfect plans."

to me, that is OK to say. I dont know how many times we had a receiver open down field for a big play, and someone missed a block or missed the assignment and jason had to scramble, or dump it off. To me that is no executing correctly. there have been plays to be made that haven't been made due to lack of execution. I remember seeing Campbell rolling to his right against the Cowboys (i think) and cooley was wide open running across the middle, and he hit the dump off. that is execution, no a bad play call. However, Zorn has seemed to scale things back a bit just trying to get the team into a rythm and it just doesn't seem to be working. Hopefully we'll use cincy as the team to get the big play offense working and take some confidence into the next game.
