And, I agree with him. I was incensed, again, at the play calling on the first drive in the red zone. Inside the ten yard line they went with two conservative running plays on 1st and 2nd downs and then ended up with that 3rd down desperation play and it was, no good, as usual....and they settled for three points instead of seven.
Yes, its pre season, and those four points didnt mean anything tonight, but in the regular season, you cant keep giving away four points over and over again because eventually it will bite you in the ass.
This team can be an unbelievably high scoring machine, but we need more 1st and 2nd down play action in close, in the red zone.
We have the weapons, use them all. Dont give away points.
This is not a complaint, this is not sour grapes, because the performance, overall tonight, was awesome.
I am just concerned that , in the red zone, we are too conservative. And, it could cost us dearly in the regular season.

Play action doesn't mean diddly if you aren't trying to run the ball. Then again, you've never been fond of setting up plays from previous plays.
