Bill, I do agree with you overall, but on Sunday IMO the play calling by Coach Payton was abysmal and for whatever reason he completely abandoned the run. Drew was being harassed on almost on every play and the Coach persisted in passing on almost every down. The fact is as you noted, even with consideration for play calling the team for whatever reason came out flat and laid a huge egg. I'll be very interested to see how we bounce back against a dangerous Tampa team on Sunday!Offensive plays aren't drawn up or called in the hopes that the opponent will fail at doing their job. They are designed and initiated with the idea that if every offensive player does his job on that play it will be effective and successful.
If the players are missing blocks, hitting the wrong gaps, running the wrong routes, dropping passes, and getting penalized for legitimate infractions... it doesn't matter which plays are called. It's going to be a game full of fail. Do your job & eliminate the mistakes and it will be a great ball game!
Yes, Payton did go heavy on the passes quickly in that game. But he always does that when he sees the offensive line allowing hits & tackles in the backfield early in a game. We simply cannot afford to come out flat again this Sunday. When Sean sees no holes available for the runners, it will quickly become an 80/20 passing day.Bill, I do agree with you overall, but on Sunday IMO the play calling by Coach Payton was abysmal and for whatever reason he completely abandoned the run.
