My biggest beef is play calling. ZT calls these parellel to the line of scrimmage plays to get two yards. It just doesn't work. It's usually a piss poor angle to get the ball to them, they have to catch it and turn and square up to the LOS. The defender just needs to tackle agressively and it goes for one yard or no gain.
Bubble screens the same way.
Madden used to say all the time that receivers need to get past the yard markers, and it was a mistake when they didn't. I agree wholeheartedly. Not that you can't every now and again do the shallow cross or bubble screen (especially on a blitz), but this is his style. I just don't get it.
3rd and 4 and he runs the ball to set up the 49 yarder that McPherson missed. He's playing not to lose and it shows. Play to win.

To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
