Our Red Zone play calling

He seemed to find folks in the Jimmy Raye offense so what the h*ll's wrong with the play calling from Roman? Pass on first down, not third. The pass to Walker demonstrates how effective this scheme can be but they have to be patient, block well and allow the receivers to make plays after the catch. The short stuff generally opens up the deeper RZ passes. When you have 3rd and long the D doesn't have to guess.

Its not the play calling its Alex Smith.. Hes afraid to take shots.. The plays are called.. the Wide Receivers are Wide Open... he just gets flustered and checks it down or doesnt see the play.. Look at Moss wide open tonight and INT.
