...when we need it.

Of course, without a short to medium passing game, our offense is only exciting because the defense keeps us in the game so Wilson can make a miracle last minute deep pass.

The reason SF was gaining 8-10 yards seemingly every check down in the 2nd half was because they'd send Davis straight down the middle, pulling our two middle LB's with him........opening up lots of space for the RB to catch the ball, turn and run for another 6-7 yards.
We don't have a world class TE like Davis to clear out the LB's....which is why when we check down our RB's get hammered and only gain like one yard.

Pretty sure Zach Miller is enough of a threat to draw a LB or two if he was ever called upon to run such a pattern

Except for Baldwin, guess we just don't have the receivers that can find the opening and get yards after catch... that WR screen IS our short passing game.
Baldwin missing the second half really limited what we could do. We should have kept Butler. He can be another 3rd down guy over any of the other receivers we have. BE and Obo has been non-existent
