We beat ourselves with such basic offensive play calling that my dog could have been choosing the plays.
Play 1: Gore runs up the middle
Play 2: VD goes long up the middle
Play 3: short pass to a WR for a gain of 2 yards.
Gee...a team cracked our code! Shocking! I gotta admit that when this season began, I thought we'd see a lot of passing the ball around to help open the game up for Gore. They want to cover VD, then we hit Crabtree short or we fake to Gore and hit Ginn long. We could have used Dixon to change things up when Gore wasn't going anywhere. We could have split out Westbrook and Gore and hit VD long...Heck, we could have just kept throwing it to Walker. I don't think he had a drop all day.
The defense for every team against us is plug the middle and stay on top of Davis. We have to get Crabtree involved and we have to keep hitting a play when it works rather than keep trying to go back to Gore or VD after we have a little success. We have to prove we can score with other guys or the season's over. Why the heck do we bother having these other guys? Apparently, all we need is Gore, an O-line and VD and we're all good on offense for Jimmy Raye.
