The offense isn't that different but the routes are focused too much on the sidelines and deep. They have got to stop this but they won't move away from it. Ridley can run routes in the middle and the rest of the WRs can play every position. No need to try and force a 1 deep threat WR when it isn't there and the offense doesn't need that to work.

They definitely installed more sideline routes this year - and rightfully so since they acquired a real X receiver. 
It is definitely not working out the way they planned though.
Between the pressure being quick and frequent and the acquired receiver getting bumped off routes it just hasn't come together often. It's fair to put some of it on Trevor, but he has hit some good ones to Ridley down the sideline and he's also thrown him several incompletions that way that drew a PI flag. So it's a mixed bag of results, but not as effective as they planned.

Ridley isn't an X WR. He needs to lineup at different spots and run all types of routes. His routes versus previous years are very telling.

This stupid offense has broken Trevor because he has to wait longer before coming off the 1st read. Trevor was great last year at reading the defense and finding the open WR. Now he can't find the open WR and when he does, he seems to hesitate for a split second before then seeing the rush and stumbling around into a sack.

They really need to go back to last year and run every route from every position. Break the rules, the trends, and make the DBs have to guess which WR is which on every play.

It's going to take a team effort to fix this but it has to start at the top. If Pederson keeps saying they have to execute better, they won't be winning the division. A great coach would adjust when his players can't execute the plays that are being called.
