Agreed. We have some tall receivers like D.J. Chark and Chris Conley. Granted we lack a pass catching TE right now, but there is simply no excuse for the lack of fade passes in the redzone. We have tall receivers who can high point the ball against smaller corners, yet we rarely even try this tactic. 

We rarely blitz and we play way too much zone coverage, rushing only 4 guys. When we have D-linemen like Campbell, Ngakoue, Dareus and a hybrid pass rusher like Allen, there is no excuse not to maximize their assets by letting them run wild. I realize that we no longer have Ramsey, but we do still have Bouye and the Safety play has been much better as well, so it's time to stop dropping so many guys into coverage and play more man to man, allowing our D-Linemen and linebackers to get after the QB more.
