Plays I Like

IMO the problem is the depth of the playbook. A lot of the concepts and stuff they run seems basic and not very ingenious. 

I just wonder if the issue isn't so much the depth of the playbook but having the wrong one. I get the feeling that Zac wants to do more but it requires a much better offensive line than what we have and so, he ends up just sticking to the basics because that's all that can work with the group we have.

A better OC would match the playbook to the talent he has and then adjust it as necessary due to injuries or weaknesses. I think this is the core of the issue with Zac as a playcaller. Given top talent, his playbook is probably good and he can call plays decently enough. But, then we have issues like injuries and incompetence along the OL and then Zac's only adjustment is shrinking the playbook and not changing it to fit what he has on offense.

Zac is clearly a good, if not great HC. But, he's still an average OC, at best. At this point, maybe we hope someone offers Callahan a HC job this offseason and Zac takes the opportunity to turn over all playcalling duties and just focus on being HC.
