Yea, one problem I have with Petzing, & everybody else here should, is the lack of WR screens.


How many WR screens have we called this season? Like…..1 in the Miami game? Are we waiting until the final stretch?

Hell I know we don’t have the most impressive YAC threats at WR, but throw the defense off just a little bit dude.


Bears have been awful and the QB has struggled to get their top WR the ball. However, the last two games they've been doing a good job getting screen passes to Moore in space.

The thing is we're so good under center...how is this not in the offense?

Sure. Fans can question everything. Kliff called WR screens out the wazoo and fans questioned that. Personally, I think Petzing should call the good plays
Problem with Petzing is that he seems to NEVER call them. I think that would be a good playcall cause I doubt the defense would see it coming considering we never call it.

Yea, I’m not even asking to go OD with them like Kliff did, but man, throw just a little wrinkle there. It’s even more annoying because we have good blockers at WRs, use them.

Yea we have the physicality for it. Had a great screen to Trey.

I'd like to think Petzing has a weak spot then the worse alternative.

He doesn't believe these guys are good with the ball in their hands/short area. Which was a concern of yours as well. However, we at least have to try to it every now and then to keep defenses honest.

The offense was moving well for good portions of the game but couldn't finish drives. This game felt like it was on Kyler getting rattled after a few hits. He always says "one play at a time", but you could tell he was in his own head looking at him on the sidelines.

He was definitely rattled. However, I do think the defense kept him in it. Two egregious mistakes in terms of the pick 6 and missing Trey for the TD doomed him/Cards.

Ironically we'd been off if Kyler played it safer. Just run out of bounds on 4th and 1 while trying to get the first and then don't risk getting the wind knocked out of you near the goal line (missed Trey the next play).

Other games he was able to bounce back and lead come from behind victories cause he wasn't getting beat up all game. He's gotta stay in it mentally.
