Zorn has to take some blame

[GTripp0012]

I don't know if calling rollouts is the answer. Zorn bails out the offense with so many perfectly timed screens and draws. I'm not sure how much more imaginative we can be with the playcalling. If we can't execute simple one cut routes properly, I'm not sure that we could execute any sort of gadget play either.

With that said, Zorn seems to be fighting himself on decisions the whole game. He can't even decide whether he wants to let the clock run out or run some sort of bizarre 30 second offense. The challenge he made, while ultimately helpful to the cause, was just a bizarre decision. He punted in opponents territory with a minute to go in the 2nd quarter and one yard to gain...while we were getting shut out!

Jim Zorn is maybe 9th or 10th on the list of reasons we lost today, but he definately did not have a good game.

The 2 bolded parts I completely agree with. the first part (using rb release screens to take advantage of overly-aggressive defenses) was great considering its BEEN 4 WEEKS SINCE WE FINALLY SAW SOME KIND OF COACHING ADJUSTMENT TO SUCCESS THE TEAMS ScOUTING AGAINST US SAW WHEn THEY BROUGHT PRESSURE. for some reason the ravens decided to keep things up the middle instead of exploiting us on the outside run like we/ve seen the past few weeks. maybe its because they went up ealry 14-0 and knew we wouldnt get 14. this lose was one of the most debilitating and "reality setting in"losses ive experienced since weve had the samuels, jansen etc. out stregthens next year will be aged considering samuels, kendal jansen rabach, fletcher griffin made up our team core of players. all we got is landry (who is a great player but no ST), a suspect mcintosh and rogers. horton produces but he is in the producing position for our D (anyone can play well and close to the ball with landry on roaming responsibilties).

our window has closed, if you disagree look back to your posts when gibbs 2 took over and see IF THIS YEAR WASNT THE YEAR FOR US 4 YEARS AGO. fact is our o line studs are old and half our D players (fletch n griff) studs are old/

The screens are a total waste of time cause there are a million guys lurking around the line.
