I've wondered why with as many flanker screens that we run, that Zorn hasn't called for this at least once.

Then again, I wonder why we don't run more play-action passes. It's one of the many things that makes me realize Zorn is still learning how to call plays.
I remember that. Gibbs finally made a nice play call and Brunell over threw it to Moss, who was open. Too bad that was the only time we ever ran that play.
