True, but that's on Taylor, Pollack, and Tobin to get players that can execute the offense.
If the offense calls for big, long-developing routes, you need guys who can pass protect for enough time for those routes to develop.

If this OL can only sustain the pocket for no more than 3 seconds and it takes 5+ seconds for these routes to develop, they didn't do a good enough job identifying talent that can do that.

Same kinda thing with the run game fit.

I do agree that it's up to the OL to execute, but that's like expecting someone who has been a manual tester all their life to come in and build test automation. Not every manual tester has the technical capability to do that. If you took a chance that they'd be able to do it and they can't do it (well), that's at least partially on you for taking that gamble.
Sorry for this possible weird analogy, but it's in the area of my expertise.
