You're saying the OC (the guy that designs the plays and tells everyone else on offense what they are supposed to do) has nothing to do with how his own play designs are are blocked up by the offensive line TEs and Running backs?
Yes. The offensive line coach designs the blocking scheme. The Bengals play a passive line scheme where they let the defensive lineman engage them. That won't change.
Now the OC may call plays like screens that don't let the defense rush as much. They may call short, quick passes. There are things they can do from a playcalling perspective that negates the rush.
Just like when the offense calls certain plays people criticize Marvin. He doesn't call the offensive plays. That's the OC.
Everyone has a role.
