Ah.. gotcha. You're translating a dump off in the flat to equate to a screen pass. Of course, you're also translating "fishing" to equate to saying "I'm right and you're wrong, but if you respond I'll call you hooked." Or, in otherwords, exactly what you were when you responded to the obvious "bait" I threw out there.
A screen play is a play. It is not an option. A set of blockers act as a screen for the runningback receiving the pass. That's 2-3 less blockers to protect the QB. A pass to the flat is not a screen pass, it is a dump off or a pass to the flat. Come on coach... you should know this.
Of course, dumping off to a running back behind the line is not really that much of an option... it means you couldn't get the ball down field. That's something culpepper has chronic problems with. All brought on by the FACT that he can't hit a second RECEIVER to save his life.
Of course, Vick has similar problems... except he even has problems looking at his primary receiver. Happy feet is his biggest crutch.
