Kirk should be running the slot routes and working from the middle out.  And Engram should be running crossers.  You know...  Like we did last year????

I don't get why this is so hard to figure out.  We aren't running the same offense we did last year.  We aren't running the same route concepts like we did last year.  The majority of targets to WRs are going to Ridley.  Then, when we decide to feed Engram, we're running screens?!?!  When was the last time you saw Engram get thrown a ball while he was crossing the field?  He must have caught 1 or 2 crossing routes a game last year.  This year, I don't think he's caught one, and I don't think he's even been targeted on any...

This years offensive play calling and scheme is trash.  It needs to go.

LOL

Tell me you haven't watched a lick of our offensive line play without actually telling me you haven't watched a lick of our offensive line play
You can't run Ridley deep very often when TL has no protection! Think, man. 
And Ridley WAS open deep often on Sunday anyway - TL either didn't look his way of his own error or he was too busy evading pressure to get a lock on him

90% of what Kirk is doing is the same as last year, you're just being ridiculous

I even posted clear evidence for you last week and you're still on this nonsense. Stop.

Then you go on to blame the "offensive scheme and play calling" for Trevor Lawrence's decisions on who he throws to and when

This [BLEEP] should be really obvious, but you're apparently slow on the uptake.

A - Lawrence can't always hit the best option because of pressure
B - Lawrence is looking for Ridley more than he should be
C - No one would even be moaning about routes and concepts if these receivers simply caught the majority of their drops and Trevor was 8 inches closer to their hands on a half dozen of his high or wide throws
D - following up C above - What they are calling would work 90% of the time if the players simply stopped screwing it up
 
You're letting the disappointment of a few bad calls color your entire perspective instead of looking at what is actually happening

Or maybe you don't know what the [BLEEP] you are looking at - not sure which

LOL...  hurr durr... Tell me you never watched a minute of the 2022 season without tell me derp shnerp.

You act as though Trevor never has time.  That's simply not true.  Again, this O-Line isn't that different that last year's.  We're only missing Cam and Taylor, and to be honest neither of those 2 guys were percieved as being brick walls.  They all had moments they did OK, and then had bad moments as well.  Trevor faced just as much pressure last year, but was able to be successful driving the ball down the field.  In addition to that, the play calling last year still had Trevor under duress a lot of the times.  People were worried if Trevor would make it out of the season healthy last year.  It's not as though this is the first year that our O-Line has been... Not good.  I don't know why you and others like you are ignoring the fact that this team, while having basically the same players looks absolutely different this year compared to last.  

It just blows my mind how much you guys just assume that coaching intensity and changing of schemes can absolutely change the way a team performs.

Insult me all you want.  You can say I don't watch the plays or I don't know what I'm looking at.  But you rarely ever discuss what my concerns are.  The play schemes last year were better.  They just were.  They kept the defense guessing and off balance.  Defenses couldn't just pin their ears back and come all out on every play.  This year, the play calling is doesn't put any pressure on opposing defenses.  Everything is run in a tight formation and all the routes are breaking in front of the secondary.  There is no routes that are stretching the field, so it's easy for defenders to read what's happening.

Here's a quick run down of our PFF grades from last year compared to week 2 of this year.  There's not much difference.  But [BLEEP] me, right.  I'm the moron that doesn't know what I'm looking at.
