Zac just isn't learning

Far as the line goes are we sure coaching and scheme isn’t the problem? We didn’t have the horses up front last year but Cappa, Karras and Collins have always been good run blockers now they stink all of a sudden ? Are we wasting the offensive line talent like we are the WR talent? Zero creativity, can’t stop  the pass rush how many screens has this team run this year? Fans crying we we run 3 receivers sets and need more WR’s. Get creative , Browns going Chubb behind center , extra offensive lineman in motion then down blocking LB’s , two back sets with Chubb and Hunt.

This^, there is a history of Zac as a play caller in college and the NFL - most of it is not very good.  Take away the Burrow checks to Chase on man go routes last season and Zac is below average in his career.  He will never be an Andy Reed.

IMO, he needs to relinquish play calling to Callahan and if that doesn't work fire him and find another OC.  Otherwise Zac is 100% responsible (I get the HC is where the buck stops) and if he is going to be the offense with all the supposed fire power then he needs to be replaced if it doesn't get better.  The Bills and Chiefs do not seem to conform to what the defense is giving them, Reed absolutely wants to set the tone so that defenses have to adjust to him.  In 8 games we have completed 2 long passes vs Cover 2 (ATL- Boyd, CLE - Hurst) on very few attempts.

I will also add that we do not have 3 WR1, they are still the best trio as each brings a different set of skills that blend well together with the right amount of athleticism and catching ability.
