Our O-Line is our Achilles Heel
Its all 3. Poor scheming and play-calling leads to plays needing more time to develop and defenses being able to predict and react. This leads to Carr holding on to the ball longer which leads to the line struggling to block for that extra second or two. The lack of motion and mis-direction makes the run game predictable, thus making it harder for the line to stay on their blocks and move defenders to create the running lanes. Carr is not Brees. He needs a better approach to each play. The O-line is hobbled and shuffled. You add to that a young receiver room and a jumbled TE group and things get messy all over the place.
The main thing I see is lack of scheming against our opponents, lack of creativity, and a lack of motivation across the board. This offense has no confidence and no attitude to it. The guys are in the room, but its all dysfunctional. Thats 1000% on this coaching staff. I'm still playing at the ripe old age of 34 and will say that Dennis Allen and Pete CarMichael are the least motivating figures in sports today.
