I liked the first play call... but yes it was well covered and jason campbell either by design or whatever didn't think about throwing anything BUT that ball, kind of hard to say what could have been, so we can only work with the reality

even if he went 6/7 on the next 7 we'd still be looking at 7/14, I don't know.. I need to see more chemistry between him and the receivers

It seemed that throw was decided at the moment of the snap.

Maybe. But on that first play I thought Kelly was open for a big gainer. JC threw the ball poorly, the defense caught up with Kelly, and Kelly couldn't reach it. I thought that play was a potential td until the errant pass. IMO.

It was worth it, if only to see Kelly's deep ball ability. The second deep ball went to Moss, and while it wasn't well thrown, I don't see exactly what Zorn was looking to accomplish on that play.

Considering he came back and ran the ball on the next down, I just don't get it. Are we trying to get in 3rd and long?

Definitely and yeah not sure why again.. and for the play calling unless it was strictly to just see what was there and nothing more

I'm suspect of Zorn's play calling as it is though
