    Red Zone

    It's been a problem for awhile now. I'm sure it's play calling AND execution but which one is the bigger issue? I think it's Hackett. He's seems to throw when he should run and run when he should pass.

    Can't blame it all on Hackett. Orton's been pretty miserable on his red zone throws in general.

      Re: Red Zone

      I don't think it's play calling its design, when Orton has one option in the end zone on a play and I don't think they tried enough to work chandler in the end zone, it's scheme and execution

        gah, Its all execution. The play calls are there. Orton or the running back needs to do their job. Thats my opinion.

          Re: Red Zone

          It's execution in the red zone.

          Orton missed 2 wide open WRs on what should have been TD passes and then the Brown fumble.

          That's 21 points instead of 6 that I believe were scored and that's an easy victory today.

            So was it design today when Orton underthrew Watkins on the right side of the end zone?

            Seems to me that it was a ****ty throw.

              Re: Red Zone

              Today was execution, other games it felt more of a playcall problem. We need to be able to run the ball down there but we can't.
