Of course the offense declined from '05 to '07. The talent fell off s cliff. In '05 we had the best O-line in the league, but in '07 we had Stacy Andrews and Eric Ghiciuc instead of Willie Anderson and Rich Braham, plus in '07 Levi Jones was limited by injury and was never the same as he was in '05. Rudi was also injured in '07. Instead of criticizing Brat for the offense dropping you should be praising him for producing a top 10 unit.
And if you think the reason our offense struggled in '08 was playcalling then you need to go back and watch some video. Levi was injured again and his play declined even more. Chad had not worked out the entire offseason and was injured before the first game. Fitzpatrick was horrible.
