    So your sample size is two games?

    Not concerned yet. I happen to think the play calling has been okay on offense, good mix.

    The penalties had a huge effect on play calling on offense vs Browns. It was just horrible and stopped us before we got started.

    I predict a fast start this weekend

    We better come out hot, otherwise the losing will continue, Whiz needs to stop bull chitin and run this team thru the QB and not the RBs and defense...

    The hate for the run game is misplaced. Run game is soooo important for clock and field management. Whiz is right for wanting to run more.

    In theory we should have a 50/50 split on first down and 3rd and 3 or less

    More times then not our run game doesnt convert, 3 runs and a punt is hardly good for clock management

    I'd love to open up a game feeding the ball to Kendall Wright on a couple slants in the middle of the field. Instead, the past couple weeks it seems like they're trying to forcefeed Harry Douglas to establish him and it just hasn't worked.

    I like the play calling so far this year actually. I have been pleased with the fact that Whiz hasn't just abandoned the run when it doesn't pay off immediately.

    Even we are only picking up 3 yards, we need to keep running the ball to keep the D honest and run clock.

    As for the slow starts, I think MM is still warming up to the game (he's only played 3 games afterall) ... I think he still needs a couple of drives to get a feel for the other team's speed and strategy. Whiz also tries to play a little conservative in the beginning because of this.

    penalties haven't helped at all either.
