And, just how many plays that are called in the huddle do you think actually get executed at the snap?  I have no data, so I'm guessing likely 50% or less, meaning that Joe likely has the authority to audible at will, based upon what he sees at the line.  I wouldn't be so quick to saddle Taylor with being at fault for calling all of the plays, chances are that Joe has a good read on what he sees, and calls something that he feels can be productive.

To keep a defense honest, yes, you still need to run the ball sometimes. I never said run, run, pass, punt. You can't just stop running the ball. Being one dimensional is not a recipe for success.

Sure, the play calls may not all fall back on Taylor, but the teams overall ineptitude to protect our QB and provide running lanes is. We had issues last year with the run, but they were able to adjust and the run game improve. I would hope the boy wonder could see that they need to go back to the drawing board and do something to try and help our QB. The opposing defenses are spending almost as much time in our backfield as our QB and RBs. I understand it was a short week, but I hope they are trying to figure something out.
