I wish I had a way to get a tape of the game. The play calling over the middle is what bothers me. They seem to never have a hi/low combo on the LBs. Run a drag route for a check down and try to get behind them. Usually you see young QBs hit the TEs over and over because it is such an easy read. (Wentz was a TE-feeding machine and he is garbage)

Green Bay had multiple players running near every hand off.... That is a much more difficult run read. We are so vanilla with play design. And I am not pushing for a reverse or flea flicker. But it is a very straight forward. I wonder if ZT designs his plays in Madden. You watch other teams play us and multiple ppl are open, they only show you the ball on TV. Burrow misses a few but rarely do you see any wide open players... or huge windows where any QB makes the throw with ease. If you can't form a pocket, move it... High school level crap... maybe Lou knows someone that can help.

Also that they rank 30th in the NFL on converting those 3rd and short situations so far this season. Seems to be something that needs to be looked at but also should be very fixable.

Nice post. I am glad to see some numbers on what upset me at the GB game. We are just out coached on offense. We need someone else to take over. The team looks good on paper. But they are not passing the field test with any ease. I thought ZT said we were going to go for it on 4th a lot... He did it on our side of the field before. How are not able to covert any short down and distance. Pound it, hit slants, TE dumb, swing passes... ffs. Where are the short distance oriented plays?
