This is one of the better posts I've read tonight.
I distinctly recall seeing both Lee and T.O. running streaks downfield on 2 separate 3rd and short situations, I'm assuming to open up the short middle for Reed/Fine/Stupar, etc.
So ya, decoys, and it makes no sense to me whatsoever using 2 of the better WR's in the league as friggin decoys. It's embarassing.
Like someone else said, Trent doesn't seem to have it in him to throw the deep ball. It's like he doesn't trust his guys to make plays. And don't give me that, "he didn't have time crap". I was screaming "get rid of the ball" more times than not. Our line is young and has very little experience, but there were plenty of times where Trent had too much time, and he stood around looking helplessly for the nearest dump-off.
T.O.'s comments regarding him just running the plays that were called pretty much sums it up; the play calling needs to change first, they're not being paid to be decoys. Trent, though, needs to start trusting his 2 WR's to make plays, and downfield somtetimes as well... hope we bounce back next week against the fish.
