Somebody Please Explain This To Me

it concerns me that the Offense can move the ball so well down the field and then get to the redzone and cant do anything. This is definately an issue payton needs to address. We should be up 21-0 instead on 6-0

I think Payton is trying out some things in the RZ right now - why else would he call an inside running play 4 times in a row @ 1st & goal? If this was reg season, there would have been some play-action somewhere in there. I think he wanted to test / challenge his O-line surge (and it wasn't pretty).

Payton already knows we can pound the ball with Karney and Deuce. What does doing that in preseason accomplish? He needs to diversify the playbook where we are efficient in other personnel formations in short field situations. The team needs to be effective running multiple play calls from formations where it is not obvious what we do. That's what he's using preseason to accomplish.

agreed... just look how beautiful that pa pass to patten was... i think drew and sp know that they can score at will with plays like that one or lining deuce up behind karney... payton was just sizing up the o-line down in the redzone early in the game, and obviously they need a little work. No need to worry!!!!

I don't know why he would call an inside running play 4 times in a row at first and goal, but he did it all last season too. And with a single back set. I know it's preseason, but my problem is that we did it all last regular season as well.

I guess that's why the team didn't score much last year. (5th PPG, ESPN - NFL Football Statistics and League Leaders - National Football League)
