How do we improve our "Red Zone" offense?

[sharky]

Almost seems like the same problem we had last year carried over to this first pre-season game. What can we do to improve. What do the co-ordinator have to or need to do?

[Jen]

I don't think its anything to worry about. Its not like we had Ryan and Turner in there enough to even begin to determine what kind of red zone offense we will have.

[Jesus]

Throw the ball in to the end zone.

[King ED]

Judging play calling or our offense in any way based off the first preseason game is asinine.

[Jimsmusic™]

Get a new OC.

short answer: Score.

Seriously I think Emmitt Smith should answer this question. If I was media savvy I would have posted a you tube video from Water Boy.

Sorry for being such a smartazz....late at work and I am getting giggly silly thinking about going home and watching some foozeball.

Really Boss said it all when he said "33".

[apl2g]

Give the ball to the BURNER!!! or Tony Gonzalez maybe Nance if we keep him.

[Zodiac]

Have our cheerleaders flash the opponents D.

[benny]

Get a new OC.

this.

[Testasparo]

Run the ball with Turner.

If we can't score doing that, then we don't deserve any points.

[ki46dinah]

Well, if you are referring to the preseason game...didnt we score 2 TD's from in the redzone?

[kirbyr]

Not judge our redzone on 2 series where we were going to only run the ball or only pass the ball.

[phattywankenobi]

Actually the red zone offense improved greatly since Ryan got here. I remember too many years of driving down the field only to squeak another 3 pointer.

[King ED]

Yes. Our coaches literally set it up on the first series to just have us run the ball, and just pass the ball on the second series.

In case people still don't know. Preseason games aren't serious bidness.

[Cavy]

Easy, run the play action boot leg MORE.

Another thing I have been dieing to see but realize I may not until the regular season is all the talk the Falcons have been making about increasing the 20+yd passes. Save it. I can wait.

All in all, you practice the things you're gonna do in regular season. I would like to see some of it now. We have to get better in the red zone, period.
