Also, Kirk, we should run the ball more, to set up the pass. But since we don't run any play action, what does it matter?

Simple, it puts single coverage on our wide receivers (i.e. chad johnson) with more guys anticipating rush. A play-action is nice, but running doesn't just set up PA; it condensing the defense allowing more run for more crisp routes.

But we don't throw the ball more than ten yards down the field.

Also, play action the the single most important way to get a good passing play off of the run. Running good routes is running good routes, but it's so easy to tell when we pass or run that it has little effect on the safeties.

I don't get it - Palmer should see the blitz coming up the middle and the TE should be able to get open and he should be able to dump it off quickly...apparently no one was open - someone's not doing something right.

Yea well Palmer did well to stay alive and get that pass off.

There was good coverage but it still was almost a completion.

3 turnovers & we're only up 9-0????

Why did I quit raking leaves?

Effing offense stinks!

I see Rudi is catching the ball, tho, good job! Now if he could just run the damn thing...

What's up with all Carson's incompletes? I can't get the homer feed to play today (system issues, new computer coming next week). Is Carson off or are the receivers pulling a Cleveland again?

He doesn't have to carry the team. But he needs some time to throw and some open receivers. There's a reason The Colts and Broncos run play action all the time - it opens up the offense. Frankly, we are just wasting Carson Palmer's talent with all these stop routes, screen passes, and every other three yard pattern. With our offense, what's the point of having a big armed QB?

I would like to see us throw it downfield more to remind the cowboys we have that option to open up the underneth game a little more (rushing). PA really isn't a charactorist for this team because we can't hold the blocks long enough to fake the rush allowing the fake to develop the passing routes. Indy and Denver has the o-line to carry the PA very well. I think it's more of a personnel issue of why we don't run it rather than a philosphy issue.
