Make or Break Game for ZT

Lots of people missing the point here.  There are play calls, options within that play call, and then if a QB makes a check to an entirely different play.  

Yes, Sunset, that is his job. But it is also the job of the HC to call plays worth a crap.

Moose Johnston said today about ZT something to the effect of "I was very surprised when he said Detroit was keeping people deep to take away our passing game, so we did a lot of two TE sets and tried to run the ball".  He then went on to say how surprised he was that ZT didn't just say:  "This is what we are, I invested a #5 overall draft pick on a WR, and just try to stop us", but he adjusted his play calls to their sets.  

ZT let three UDFA corners change his offense.  And despite a huge pick that gave them the ball back and decent field position all half, they managed just 14 points the entire game. 

Before I am accused of being a Negative Nancy on the day of a win, I look at decisions like that and think "that didn't kill them against Detroit, but how on earth do they plan to win against a team like Baltimore with those dumbass decisions?"


Sorry if I want more for this team that is absolutely wasting a Championship-caliber defense.
