Honestly I would rather see them kick it out of bounds every time. The handoffs have to be better-too many times they were at the upper chest instead of into the gut. We were lucky we only fumbled the one late in the game there could have been many more. My biggest concern was the overall conditioning of the players. Yes it was hot but I have never seen a team suck more wind and hunch over more then I did last night. The talent is there and I thought the play calling was really good. Hopefully Zook is alright and we can learn from the mistakes and get better. Just my opinion of course but overall it was a great win in Week 1

Plus he takes way to long to throw the ball to an open receiver. When he stairs only at the primary receiver the defense knows where the ball is going. It always end up a pick or near pick. Not to mention he still throws everything behind or above the receivers head. Why not move him to a receiver position and let short run the option. Just a thought.

My guess is you don't have that luxury, I am not trying to pick on you, I just know that without that knowledge assumptions can be made, both good and bad, about a particular performance. That performance could be of an individual or a group in general. I must admit I have been where you are too many times and then had to eat some crow when I learned that what appeared to be going on Friday night was quite different than what I "watched" live or replay. It's all good to have an opinion and everything said on here doesn't have to be all nicey nicey. Just keep those thoughts in mind when judging. And about "kids" reading the board......don't , this is for old men(women) who can't play anymore. lol
