I owe Kyle Orton an apology...

There really isn't a great way to answer those questions, so I look at the intangibles. Orton hasn't showed me in his limited time here that he has many, but I was SICK to death of the "too many men on the line" and "tackle was uncovered" or "2 men moving at the snap" or "illegal shift" penalties that seemed to just rack up while Cassel was under center. Now, they also racked up under Palko, BUT at least today, like I mentioned earlier, when Breaston was on the line, covering the TE (illegal), at least Orton had the presence of mind to say, "hey douchebag, back up a little" and wave him back.

It helps when the play is in on time. A coaches job is to take as much pressure off the players as possible. That includes getting the plays in and letting the QB make a presnap read.
