But here's the facts 22 games in.

18.5 points per game under the offensive guru. And yes I know everybodies gonna yell Oline from the top of a mountain. But there are a bunch of teams with very near as bad of an Oline that struggle nowhere near the way we do.

I searched for a bit but couldn't find any redzone stats but I'm quite sure over those 22 games we've been one of the NFL's worst in those final 20 yards.

I remember during a game last season Steve Young asking "where's the innovation ? where's the motion ?" and so on.

And why was the Oline basically totally ignored ? Was ZT really happy with this bunch ? Did he really wanna hang his hat on Hart, Price, Jordan, Redmond and so on ?

I don't know what the answers are but the results have to change. 18.5 from this offensive mind is just unacceptable.

A more accurate statement rather than 18.5 PPG during Taylor's tenure is a breakdown between 2019 and 2020.
In 2019, they averaged 17.5 PPG
In 2020, they are averaging 21.5 PPG.

That's a +4 increase.

This offense is weakened by the following things:
- Odd playcalling that doesn't seem to cater to the strengths of the personnel
- Atrocious OG performance
- A C who is not good at run blocking
- A RT who is not good at pass blocking
- A TE who is not good at pass blocking and inconsistent as a pass catcher from a production standpoint.

First step is to get this offense a good OL.
I think the TE situation will be ok next year if Uzomah can look like he was to start this season and/or Sample can improve his consistency.
I'd love to see Taylor stop thinking he can handle the offensive playcalling duties along with HC duties and just focus on being a HC. Give the playcalling to someone who has proven success doing it.
