I like his comment at about the 16 minute mark concerning throwing the ball to move the chains in the 2nd half. We certainly seem to have become very conservative on playcalling in the 2nd half, continuing to run when they are bring 8 guys. Hopefully we can see this improve, and us keep the foot to the accelerator in the 2nd half.
Consider the series:
1st: Post pass INT to McCoy killed that one
2nd: 2nd and 12 after a loss of 2 on a passing play had us sacked for 8 yard loss leaving a 3rd and 20. Called a draw play for 15.
3rd: Got stopped on a 3rd and 1 with Ingram. (gotta admit, that isn't what we could call usual)
4th: 2nd and 4 stopped with Coffee's fumble.
5th: Completion to Walker for 4, Ingram no gain, Incomplete on 3rd and 6 to McCoy.
6th: End with Nick Walker dropping the pass and that completion would have iced the game...may have needed one more 1st down, but we were damn close.

I see one bad series. The 5th.
2 series that failed can be put on the OL...sack and the lack of a good enough push to get one yard.
I don't see that play calling that bad, but lack of production/execution? I can find fault there pretty easily.
We had right at a 50/50 ratio with pass to run, didn't have any negative plays running the ball...
