Weird things to ponder about the design of the offense...

2) Why do we never use scheme to put our players into position to succeed? For example moving Chase around to get better matchups? How about running plays to get our playmakers the ball in space - they don't have to be bombs just short pass plays.

3) Why claim you are a wide zone running team then turn around and run inside zone instead? Especially after back to back effective running games using wide zone?

4) Why are plays designed to burn the pass rush so incredibly rare from the Bengals? It basically means there is no downside to the opposing DL pinning its ears back.

5) Why are they so unbelievably bad at simple screens?

6) Why run empty set against a defense obviously blitzing? It is a recipe for disaster no matter what OL you have.

There are more...

Have always been curious about this as well because our RB screens are atrocious and have been throughout the years long before this coach even. 

Hearing to just throw against blitz but that generally causes the QB to take too many hits eventually. Am fine with taking this approach as well but think some well executed screen passes could help out a bad O-line and keep defenses guessing more. 

Plus obviously the great QB's like Rodgers seem to throw RB screens often.
