Chris Simms on Offense Playcalling

[Joelist]

Simms is mostly right. Not only is the offense predictable but we set our players up to fail instead of to succeed. We don't do anything in scheme to help the receivers get separation, keep asking power linemen to block wide zone (which together with Mixon's own issues accounts for the run game problems) and constantly give the play away by the formation and even players sets. Now to be fair they made a conscious effort against Miami to run plays against their tendencies and it paid off so I do think the coaches took the issue of tipping off the defense to heart.
