Flacco

He's executing the plays, they're just calling for these 5 yard routes in hopes that the receiver gets something after the catch. I'm not absolving him off all blame, but when someone asks why his average is 5 yards a pass, I'm going to explain the lack of deep passes in a Trestman offense compounded with an injury stricken line. 20% of his completions were for 0 yards or less (Trestman's classic, throw it 3 yards behind the line and just hope the RB can do his best Forte impression).

And when I say abandon the run, I mean only call 5 rushing plays the second half. In the skins game, they had 13 rushes for 74 yards in the first half. They only rushed 6 times in the second half (for 54 yards), one of which was a scramble by Flacco.
