Team reliant on individual heroes due to mediocre coaches

Game plan and play design are issues, but there's just disconnects between what the coaches are trying to do and the personnel on the roster.  If we want to be a pass heavy offense, that's fine.  You need a RB who can pass protect, be a legitimate receiving threat, and can bust big runs when the defense tries to sit back in Tampa 2.  We don't have that.  If they want to push the ball down field, that's fine, but you have to compose your WR corps so you don't have to just chuck the playbook when one guy gets injured.

Even when Chase played, the offense struggled all but 2 games and it was against depleted teams.

And yes...great points in paragraph 2. And those cause the issues I mentioned about.

And when things go bad...like the pass rush is getting home, they have no clue how to call plays that stop it. Like traditionally screens where you let the rush get there then dink it over their head.

They hardly use Hurst. He is a good TE. Open a lot. Instead they do 3 yard dinks to Mixon and Wilcox.

It's just a mess from top to bottom and Taylor owns it. He's not some innovative offensive genius.
