No going deep to get the defense to back off? No screens? Way too much empty backfield - which with a defense playing no less than 8 guys within 10 of the line is a recipe for blocking problems? I don't care who you run out there as linemen, no line is going to succeed with this gameplan.
Notice the Rams did exactly what we should have - they max protected and threw deep right out of the gate. By getting the bombs they forced the Bears to back off the line.
Max protect would remove all these weapons that were supposed to magically solve all our offensive woes.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
