Mundane, lifeless offense

McVay in LA is arguably one of the best offensive minds in football. Pats have always used a lot of motion to move their receiving corp of slot WR's around to stack them and pick them open.

Honestly, our offensive scheme is probably an average NFL scheme today. Nothing too fancy but it can get the job done when everything is clicking. When we do try some of the motioning stuff however it is funny because people here will call them gimmicks and pointless....if they don't work of course. A lot of that stuff is window dressing to hold defenders eyes, not even make big plays just hold them for later on similar motions. The reality is Hue was doing some of this stuff years ago with the Monster formation where he'd run lineman wide then motion everyone back in, a lot of people here thought it was stupid. The reality is that was a box check, based on numbers inside and out you could run the play or check out but either way ti made defenders think and travel which both tend to cause mistakes.

If you want an innovative offensive play caller, we have one on staff...

The offensive scheme against the Ravens was very very generic. It looked like something you would see in the pre season trying to looked at the receivers press coverage releases.

Lazor did nothing to attack a press man defense. He continuously attack the middle and strongest part of the Ravens defense with the run game. One screen play, one bootleg, No pick plays, no quick catch an runs with outside blocking.
