On criticizing NFL coaches

I think there's a TON of guys out there on social media and on the internet (PFF, Joe Goodberry, Kurt Warner's QB videos each week, Tony Pike, etc) that have credibility and do an EXCELLENT job of breaking down film from the games and critique it. 

I lean on those guys, watch their content, and learn to form my own opinion about how our team is playing. Many if not all of them share our same sentiments about how this offense is playing and how the play calling is going. 

And these sources are all saying what some of us here have been saying - the offense has design issues and situational football issues. They all noted how we tend to just line up and expect everyone to win their 1-1 battles or at least not lose them. That we do nothing to burn aggressive pass rushing (and sorry the one example of a jailbreak screen for 5 games is not evidence enough). That we don't use designed rollouts and that Joe tends to drop back to the exact same spot and not move in the pocket a lot. 

Where are the draws, the traps? How about actually practicing screens till they get them right? Drilling our backs on pass blocking as long as it takes for them to start at least being competent (I suspect if we still had Gio probably 5 of the sacks this year don't happen)? Using different looks with the receivers to prevent secondaries from sitting on our routes? What does all this stuff do? It slows down rushes a bit and gets the defense thinking instead of just pinning their ears back and going.
