The good news is that's insanely easy to fix. Just run out of shotgun and pass out of under center.
The bad news is I fear Zac, and to an extent Burrow, are not willing to leave their comfort zone of spread passing and under center/ condensed running.
Your thoughts make sense and sure as hell look like what we are seeing on the field. Last 3 games and 3 losses it's obvious defenses have figured us out by formation. I would think that Zac, Joe and Brian and anybody else in on offense should see changes are needed like NOW. I hope they don't think a bigger hammer is the fix for the round peg square hole thing.
