It's not like we were way behind and had to throw the ball every play. We were down 7 points a few minutes into the 3rd quarter.
Cover 2 has a weakness -- you have to run against it. Dink and dunks also work, mostly in the middle but you HAVE to get the LBs to respect the run so you can play action and throw in behind them.
Yea, Zac Taylors poor and predictable play calling was on full effect yesterday. We only had 2 rushing attempt on 3rd or 4th down the entire game and one attempt came on a 3rd and 15.
Only 1 rush attempt when we needed 4 or less yards which occurred 8 times. Only converted once in those situations.
