I don't understand why, in the preseason, you don't let your young QB make a throw or to get you in the endzone or at least a closer FG. Instead you run a draw and let the clock wind down to kick a 47-yarder. Even with a pro bowl kicker, a 47 yard field is not a gimmie. I could understand some conservative play calling in real-game situations but in the preseason let it fly. If it's this is a glimpse of the play calling, they are really not gonna score on offense.

I agree, but let's be honest....the play calling isn't the worst thing going for this offense. |

If they can't run block, forget it.

and if a the is bring the house at you 75% of the time you would think your crappy o-cordinator would make play over the middle or a bck in the flats to counter or adjust for that or maybe take advantge of hesters speed and rexs arm and a little luck and toss that sh#t and maybe you can make a play or two and back that blitz off..

I hear you but the QB has to read and adjust and I don't think that's happening with Rexy. -------------------- |

Isn't this what he's always done? -------------------- |

That screen to Hester on the 5 is something that should never be done again. They had one really nice looking run play, though.
