The offense did look pretty good --- until it got in the
red zone.  And, I think the problem there is less with
personnel than with the play calling.  For example, with
first and ten from the 18 with about 2 min left and the
game tied, why call a pass?  You want to run the clock
and you want to play it safe for the chipshot field goal.
Even if three runs up the middle gets 6 yds, it is almost
an extra point to win the game.  Why isn't Cody Glenn used
in short yardage situtations?  I still don't like the red
zone play calling (or the lack of success with what is
called).

Isn't it clear that Nunn is having more success as a punt
returner?
