Passing scheme is average at best.

[Garrus]

I am not football savvy enough to argue what the offenses problems are, I can only do the eye test which isn't always the best. But it just seems to me for whatever reason, we rarely throw over the middle with like quick slants or use the middle of the field often at all. I think Burrow likes boundary passes the most, but Browning didn't seem to do it much either so IDK. Maybe it is how the scheme is designed? Maybe defenses know we would like to do that, so they defend it often?

Hard for me to say but it does seem if you have a QB like Burrow and WR like Chase, we should be top 5 in offense every year, but we're not. The offense has been inconsistent basically the entire Burrow era, where they will go through periods where they look amazing, and then stall and not get a first down for 5+ drives.
