Re: Hackett - tough to blame vanilla preseason after what we all saw last year.  And I'm normally the last guy to complain about playcalling (because it's the qb, stupid).  But man, there were about 900 sequences last year that went something like:
1st&10 - Jackson for 6 yards.
2nd&4 - Spiller for 5 yards.  
1st&10 - Jackson/Spiller for -2 yards.

Dude, this aint West Virginia.  You've got to mix in a play action on 1st down once in a while.  Particularly when you have a burner like Goodwin (who burned 3 elite defenses for long td's).  And particularly in a league where the refs apparently get a bonus for every ticky tack PI flag they throw.  There is zero reason not to take 1-2 deep shots per quarter.

Not to mention, there is evidently no option in the read option, as Manuel never keeps it.  I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that this was due to injury and injury concerns.  But if that's the case, maybe it calls for a different style?
