Big difference between our 5 man protections, which can't handle anyone, and our 6 man protections, which are giving McNabb a lot of time.

Sometimes, however, we call a six man protection, and the back and a tackles don't read the stunt together, then the back releases which leaves a free lineman in a bad position. It's at that point I miss Campbell, because he would complete that desperation throw to the back, where McNabb misses or gets sacked putting us in long yardage or forcing a punt.

There's a simple solution, which is to restrict the back from releasing into the pattern. That would fix a lot of our protection problems.
