Rapien and Pike lay it out

[Joelist]

Rapien and Pike are far from alone in calling out Taylor in specific terms. It has happened before and started before this season even. His offensive play calling is suspect. They do little if anything to burn and defuse pass rushes. They give away the play by the formation. Instead of using formation, route design and/or deception to open things up they just line up and expect their players to win their matchups. Other teams do these things - ever wonder why we see other teams receivers running wide open in big holes in defensive zones? It was disguising the play and the route and the defense guessing wrong at least in part.
