If that's what you call "compressed," then OK, I guess.  Stuff over the middle, between the hashes and near the sticks can absolutely work against that cover one style.

I don't see it. I see lots of calls where Trevor's primary read is well past the sticks and if that read isn't open, he's pressured/flushed before he can get to a dump off. More plays designed to get rid of it quickly would be a boon for him IMO.

"...the lack of deep speed continues to allow defenders to press the line of scrimmage without fear of allowing big plays. This enables defenses to be more aggressive, creating a compressed field. That's not unlike the offense always operating in the red zone, which is the toughest part of NFL quarterbacking whatever the quarterback's experience.

That's what I believe is happening.  It's hard to make short throws when the defense is compressed like it's first and goal from the 5 yard line or something.  

What I'm seeing on film doesn't match what Oehser is saying. 

Even if he were correct - would you rather Lawrence throw incompletions deep that give the pass rush time to clobber him -  or have him throw incompletions quick and short that don't get him killed? 

I'd err HEAVILY on the side of the latter. They are not doing that.
