Re: looking at the numbers at the 25% mark of the season

Zorn needs to work on ways to get the young WRs involved. Moss is constantly being double teamed. There's gotta be some opportunities there to take advantage of other than Cooley. Cooley by the way is on pace for a monster season.

I wonder if DT is ever the 1st read? They could get him in for a bubble screen or quick slant, but I wonder just how confident JC & coaches are in him.

It's obvious they have some plays for Kelly, they've tried to hit him deep a few times per game. Yeah it would be nice to see them dialing something up for Thomas deep.

Maybe i'm offbase here but i watched the game last night. GB had everyone involved in the offense and Gruden did a good job of explaining the plays. McCarthy (and Childress) called some great plays to get guys open. It doesn't look like rocket science here. You're right Zorn has got to draw up some plays to get EVERYONE involved. If not SM and Cooley are getting doubled more often than not.

Re: looking at the numbers at the 25% mark of the season

I'm not impressed with these "so-called" WRs we drafted. It would have made more sense to keep Keenan and draft O-line men. You know I keep hearing everyone talking all this trash about last year's draft and I'm still pissed. Phil Loadholt did good last night STARTING for Minn. We could really use another center like Alex Mack. Perhaps no one else notices that Casey is starting to get a lot more penalties? Why we passed on Duke is beyond me? So what if he had a bad game. So we just throw out the whole season that got him to a bowl game because he has a bad game? He would've been a steal and who do we get? eff Vinny.

Even if we had gotten him, we'd still be just as reliant on the five current guys to perform. Depth is unconditionally a good thing for the long run, but our situation wouldn't have been any better.

And if it cost us a key special teams player, then we'd be worse off. Again, just because you draft LBs, Safeties, Backs, and Recievers with second day selections doesn't mean you'll improve your special teams necessarily, but that is how you do it.

Perhaps? I can't see the future. Time will tell as the season goes on. Which him are you talking about, Mack, Loadholt, or Robinson?

ST is great but CP, Rock, and Betts are running out of steam. The O line is the problem.

IF we cannot get the young guys involved in the double situations as has been pointed out, it is equivalent of putting a gun to our Offensive head.....with all the chambers loaded......maybe I'm a little frustrated with that situation. AND if we did imagine what it would do for Moss and Cooley?
AND, AND IF we do not either JZ or VC did it to us as these guys can't play, or the coach can't figure it out.
.....where the hell is Marko Mitchell
