This is what I'll have to disagree with. I don't believe he called that great of a game. Only called 5 run plays in the first quarter with 25 pass plays. That's not exactly how you win games.
I understand that the defensive line was dominating. But you can't abandon the run game, especially when your QB was showing signs of being rattled (missed two TD throws to Uzomah) and he was sacked 5 times in the first half.
I just wasn't impressed with Zampese. He was very one sided. Even in thsi first half the running game wasn't doing bad at all. 5 runs for 17 yards. Hill averaged 4 YPC in the first half and they abandoned the run and decided to keep throwing while Dalton was getting beaten up.
Two of the biggest plays on offense were because of Dalton. He audibled the TD throw to Green (Green confirmed that on NFL Network) and then he also audibled the throw to LaFell on 3rd down for 21 yards which set up the TD to Green.
But it was his first game, so there's going to be some growing pains. I just wasn't impressed because there has to be some things cleaned up.
