I just dont understand...Saban has said "we need to throw the ball downfield and make big plays" but the playcalling has just been mediocre at best up till this point. I have not seen Culpepper go deep once!! Late in the Pittsburgh game we finally started throwing the ball down the field and were making some big gains until Cpep threw that INT...why couldnt we have seen some of those plays thrown into the mix earlier on...or in buffalo? Culpepper is respected for having the strongest arm in the NFL and I have yet to see a single representation of that this season. Why not use our players to their strengths? I hope we see a new phins offense this week...cuz if we cant put up the points against the Titans we are in for a LONG and hard to watch season. I understand the offensive lines poor play is contributing but theres gotta be ways to buy Cpep enough time to throw the ball deep!

i think daunte has no trust in CC yet, Moss 6-6
Chambers 5-11

Moss is 6' 4" and Chambers plays much taller than 5' 11". He goes up and gets the ball like a 6' 3" guy.
 
i dont think its nessecarily the play calling, cuz i have see WRs go deep. cpep has attemted it a few times but never connected. i think he is either a lil gun shy right now or just not seeing the field. good or bad cpep needs to fire some balls downfield. its partly cpeps resposibility to push the defense back, instead of having safteys playing 10 yds from the line of scrimmage.
 
While everyone likes to point the finger at Daunte, I really feel our sore spot again has been our offensive line. There's to much pressure getting to Daunte and the time to throw the deep ball just hasn't been there because of the lack of pass protection, IMO. That goes the same for Ronnie's 3.3 rushing average. With the exception of some of the Steelers game, the line has been outplayed in the last two games. Hopefully they'll step it up.
 
heres the problem
carisma, trust, chemistry, daunte has only been around chambers in game time situations for 2 games so ending half of the season chambers will be puttin up huge numbers
 
dont forget CC did drop a TD pass in the opener at the end of the first half so i think they just need to connect for some longer gains before w start getting production deep........lol even tho it meant nothing to the outcome of the game i think that TD pass at the end of the game last sunday was huge because its showed daunte that chis can make those circus catches........i think they pick up tom wear they left off after that play and we get chambers a td catch early....thats my feelings!!
 
i been sayin this for 2 week is are offensive coor the dude from the bill mularkey he got nothin good for us nothin
