Where are the screen passes?

I thought one of the main reasons we drafted Ronnie was because of his ability to catch the ball. So why aren't we throwing to him? He did make that incredible grab last week against the Broncos...but 1 catch for 5 yards today? Not good. Also, the penalties are really becoming a problem. 11 against Denver and 10 more today. That is just ridiculous. We can't get anything going on offense with those penalties, but it seems the biggest ones are coming on 3rd down on defense. I thought this team was better coached than that. All in all, I wasn't expecting a win at NY before the season, but I sure was after last week. Now I have no idea what to expect against Carolina. Just get Ronnie the ball more!!

he was busy blocking because our o-line was getting beat

at this pace we will be having 160 penalties at the end of the year...My God, this has got to stop!!!

I agree on the penalties, but I watched the Patriot/Carolina game and the Pats had like 10 penalties for 90 yards. Here is a 3 time Sb championship team with a great coach and yet they also were horrendous with penalties. I guess my point is you would think its expereince or coaching, but I guess some games there is no controlling that. I dont know what causes these stupid penalties. Communication? nerves? inexperience? You got me!

How does Madden say: "Screen Passes requires quick Lineman that can get past of the LoS and block."

Our Line is still in the learning and building process, before they cant use real good schemes and improve their skills we wont have any yards with screens.

Look how Ronnie wasnt able to run really to the Outside, cause the Jets Linebackers won the Battle there over our Line.
