The one thing I will say is not so much the play calling but rather the game plan.  Last week we saw a team ready to expose the 3-3-5 with the run and actually threw the ball downfield.  Never did I really believe Nassib was going to throw the ball downfield today.  The 1 yard dumps to the flats to or TEs are not going to scare anyone.  Every time we throw the HB screen, it can be seen fro a mile away and so can the defense.  It just seems like we focus on one area to attack a defense and either it works out (last week) or it blows up in our face (this week).  Why we didn't adjust I have no idea.  And the main criticism I have of Nassib (and this may be how he is coached) is that he really seems to stick with one option.  Without the luxury of the game film or knowledge of the play called, it just doesn't appear that he actually makes a progression of his reads.

And obviously a lot of this has to do with whether the other receivers, starting with guys like Lemon, Chew, Graham and now West, are actually open downfield.  Our blocking wasn't great today either but I think they gave him at least some time to make some throws.

The personal fouls are another story.  Can't imagine it will be a fun week of practice.  I hope these guys remember this game each time they go into a game for the balance of the season.
