But instead of trying to block it, we leaked our running backs into the flats and had our o-line sneak out as lead blockers. Later in the game, they HAD to stop blitzing and cover our backs out of the flat. The last screen we attempted was AFTER the Pack made this adjustment, and we ended up throwing for a 4 yard loss. But Orton had time in the pocket after that.

The first screen to McClain was the SAME screen we ran against Minnesota.
Orton found his 2nd read (McClain), Cassel grounded it.
