Our route trees were stale AF, and the only person who could get open using them was the spectacular AJ Green. I haven't been too impressed with the passing game since 2015 (or the running game for that matter). I'm not sure how all of that creativity left the building without latching on to any of the coaches who remained, but somehow that happened. Excited to get some creativity back in the room.  

Hell, running a creative scheme that defenders can't key in on might actually give the O-lineman a chance to be better too! Hard to play well when the D can tee off on you repeatedly. Our plays were pretty telegraphic at times last year.

I have no doubt that the offensive line being poor limited the playcalling. That said, Lazor was a mediocre OC. Combine the 2 and you get a stale offense.

That said, when Eifert was healthy...the offense put up points.

I think plain and simple: Mixon, Boyd, Green, and Eifert are all really good players. Then the other WR's are fringe NFL players with none appearing capable of being a #3 WR in the NFL YET.

Now, lets see if the staff can get Ross to produce because he's the main guy that needs to step up for us to be elite.
