I wouldn't exactly say that...It seems like Lazor is trying everything he can think of to get around thr bad oline. 

Against the Bills he was lining up in mostly2 WR 2 TE 1 back sets and trying to run up thr gut and use playaction...The offensive line had mixed success. Against the Steelers he was running alot of max protect split back sets and it didn't work because pressure up the middle. Last week against the Colts he abandoned all pretense of blocking the defense and released every eligible receiver into the routes...I think Lazor has been really impressive.
