Can he get used to making people miss in the backfield ?

Taking the opposite point of view, I think Joe was either told to stay inside or he flat didn't see the outsides, which he has more than enough speed to reach and his WRs were either taking off downfield or blocking.  I'm guessing the former.

Joe was noted for his outstanding vision coming out of Oklahoma, but he either didn't display it the other night, or he was told to try and stay inside and just get positive yardage.

Zampese doesn't earn the "benefit of the doubt" just yet, and I have no idea why our RBs don't chip the DE and slide out as an outlet.  Piggy and Brady have made a living on this simple, yet highly effective plan.  They hold the ball as long as they can looking downfield, and then check it down to a back that goes 10 yards every time.  

Zampese has to either practice this in these games, or learn it because it isn't rocket science.  And I saw this as one of Brat's biggest faults as well.  It was either down the field or nothing.  Stupid.
