Charley Casserly's Take on the skins Redzone Problems

[BDBohnzie]

I think this means getting McCardell and Caldwell open more down in the Red Zone. Both are capable targets that need to get the ball more in goal line situations.

The other take it that going heavy jumbo, Santana Moss is usually the 1 receiver that is in that set...perhaps replacing him with one of the above will help?

One way to deal with red zone problems is to score before you get in the red zone. They need to take more shots from between the 40s.

That's an excellent point. When's the last time you saw them throw a bomb into the endzone from the 50?

They haven't done it enough which is a shame with the way the officials are handing out PI calls lately. The Cowboys are smart in this regard. They take a boatload of shots to the endzone from midfield. Now they have strong weapons to do it with, but he also threw one to Pasano against G.B, and he's not anybody's idea of a downfield threat so it's a philosophical thing for them as well. We, by contrast, seem to have completely gone away from the long ball, which is an indication to me that Saunders is basically having his way, despite what everyone says.

Good point. Although the offense is more open it looks like we throw to get 1st downs and not to score.

I only remember seeing McCardell in the lineup once this season in the red zone and he caught a TD. I like Thrash down there too but only on 1st and second down with Sellers, Yoder, Cooley and him on the field.
