I mentioned it in another thread - the first screen to McClain was almost identical to the one we ran in the gold zone against Minnesota, which ended with Cassel throwing it into the dirt. Sorry but we HAVE done it, several times. Cassel just can't execute.

You do realize that those plays rely on a pre-snap read by the QB, right? So the reason we did it today when they played off was BECAUSE OF ORTON.
