TJ was better than Charles in Cleveland.

Overall though, the playcalling was shitty. Not 1 screen, not 1. We need to get Charles the ball in ways other than handing it off to get defenses to loosen up. He had a nice gain on his 1 reception. We need to get him involved with more screens and HB routes.

I remember a play Elway and the Broncos ran all the time that just killed teams...

HB chips a block and leaks into the area vacated by the LB's. Easy 8-10 yard gain most of the time. We need more things like that. Charles is also going to have to solidify his passblocking so we can run some PA Pass with him in.

But all in all, I have beat this horse and will continue too, Cassel has to complete 3rd and short passes when his number gets called to keep drives going.

#1) I agree that the play calling has not been great.

#2) Cassel did a pretty good job completing passes on third down in the second half of the Cleveland game. (Let's hope this is the start of him becoming a solid game manager.)

I am looking forward to the Chiefs after the bye. I think Weis will have had more time to really figure out what this team does best in games.
