I like our playbook and it was working well at the start of the game. I thought the problem was we started to try to force the passing game...when there was no reason to. Turner and Quiz were averaging 11 yards per carry....why stop? Then after Roddy didn't get the PI call (and he should have) we stopped all deep throws....at that point the Saint loaded the box, stopped the run and short passes and we went flat.....I think had we taken a few good shots down the field they would have had to spread their defense more and we could have continued to run and make short passes......

Just my 2 cents....but I felt like we were running so well....that Koetter said WE NEED TO PASS MORE.....and then we went to 3 passes and out......

our playbook works when we use it and keep using what works....the minute we start to try to force a facet of the game we end up stagnating....we ran well against the Bucs....but their weakness was the secondary....we should have passed first there.....tonight the runs were working brilliantly......we looked like a juggernaut marching down the field....then we ran a couple of more and stopped running for the next 3-4 series......
