Message: [QUOTE="jdb50, post: 4383566, member: 1530"] The play calling on Zions last series was maddening, and Mullen should have been in for that series. No throw to a TE tonight. No throws of 15 yards downfield. Are we the shortest team in FBS? Serious question. Our receivers and defensive backs are all short. It really affects he defensive backs ability to make a play on the ball in coverage. And having no one with height as a downfield threat hurts the offense. Zion is listed as 5'11" and it has to affect his downfield vision vs 6'4" Shrader. I was worried about the pass rush as the season started and it has to be addressed if possible. They seemed to be rotating a run stop vs pass rush group at D-line. Yates and Stafford are getting better there. Not being able to defend in the pass game really hurt us on D. But the defense is better and even with the tough next 2 road games coming up they need to hang in there and keep up with the improved tackling. [/QUOTE]
