2nd and short (3 yards or less), you can afford to take a shot or go for a big pass, as the D generally needs to keep guys in to safeguard from a quick run that can net a first down.
Just because execution wasn't there, doesn't mean the call wasn't good.
You people need to stop thinking that you know it all and that, "you can call a better game than coaches."
If we converted a 40 yard gain or a TD on that 2nd and 3, you wouldn't have said a word.
Absolutely correct.
Going from an under center run to an empty set is keeping the defense guessing - if it works. But it didn't, so the knee jerk reaction is that it's "predictable."
I don't want to defend ZT, because he's responsible for a lot of problems. But blaming the playcalling is overrated. ZT even said that some of the sacks came because the OL couldn't pick up simple stunts or blitzes that they should've picked up. Now, that's some combination of player failure and bad coaching, and yes ZT is complicit in that (he hired Turner after all), but sitting on your Lazy Boy trying to play offensive coordinator by saying every call that doesn't work was "predictable" is just silly.
