hahaha I am good friends with danielmorris9 and he just lives with his parents and a lot of brothers and sisters. Although it is funny to think of him as a bigomist…. :)

The long vertical game is not the only way to stretch the field. Orton and the offense have been great at stretching in side line to side line putting every inch in play. The Break away threats of Royal, Marshal, Buck and Moreno mean you must respect the territory behind the line and 50 yards ahead of it. A safety that cheats, even a little bit, gets burned.

McD has commented very highly on Ortons intelligence. I think is greatest attribute so far has been his ability to diagnose a defense and figure out what it is giving him – which accounts for the slower starts we are seeing. As Kyle gains more experiance and a greater understanding – via outstanding Coach McD – he will only become more deadly (a la P. Manning). Oh, and he can throw the ball 50 yards downfield, but why go for the low percentage shot when you can hit Royal, Marshal, Sheffler or any of our guys for a high percent 20 yards and have a great chance of them tacking on the extra 30+?

I don’t see a late season fade coming our direction. We do not have a single scheme that others can diagnose. McD and Nolan develope distinct game plans for each opponent. Our players and physical enough to win the individual battles in the threnches, and more than smart enough to quickly adapt to changing game situations. With heady leaders like Dawkins, Bailey and Orton (list kept short – too many to list) on field reactions can be taken almost immediately. We cannot be ‘figured out’, opposing teams will have to line up against us, out play us physically, and make adjustments faster than our players and coaches. Many will try, only a few will succeed.
