'Bring the Pain' Stepping away from the panic button, slowly

Of course he did, but not stepping up in the pocket probably results in a TD for the defense less than 1% of the time. It was just bad luck and this would have been a completely different game if that was a sack instead.

The over-the-line interception was inexcusable, Campbell should, and does know better. He showed last year that he can be trusted to take care of the ball, so I don't think that play will be indicative of his play for the rest of the year.

The playcalling was disappointing though. In parts of the 2nd and 3rd quarter it looked like they couldn't stop us when we went 3 wide. The Giants didn't have enough corner depth to stop us when they need their nickle on the field, but all of the sudden we went into run-run-pass playcalling and let them off the hook.


SIDE NOTE: Hi guys, I just joined up today after deciding I couldn't take extremeskins anymore. The place is essentially unreadable for much of the year and is completely devoid of logic. The Warpath seems to have actual discussion in place of profanity laced tirades, and I look forward to Skins talk with all of you.

Cheers

Nice post and you're dead on. That comes down to coaching. Zorn didn't make the adjustment adn doesn't seem to know how to make adjustments during games.
