I remember how many people were ripping Zampese for not calling a fade to Green in the red zone, but as soon as he did and it did not work then Zampese was stupid for calling for a fade to Green in the red zone.
Dalton just walked into the endzone on a brilliant call yet no one is giving Zampese any credit for that.
This year, due to pressure, Andy is facing less time to let the play develop, and its part of the job of the person calling plays to help mitigate that. With the short field in the red zone, you need to open the play book and call better plays to get the ball in the end zone. We couldn't run, and we couldn't pass block, its someones job to figure out a way to mitigate those weaknesses and get the offense to score points? So if its not Ken's job, is it on Piano Man, James Urban, or Kyle Caskey?
Just how when teams that have a terrible run game, utilize the short pass/screens to compensate.
