I have been relatively fair with not bashing Press Taylor. I felt like week two against the Chiefs in particular fell on execution more than anything with the dropped passes, the fumbles, etc.

Kirk's fumble yesterday is the 2nd or 3rd time this year he's done that. The last one being after a big catch and run attempt against the Saints. He was able to redeem himself with a clincher in the 4th though.

I think other than that? I would have liked to have seen more screens incorporated, which, to be fair, there was two big play opportunities this year with the screen plays that got nixed by Harrison not selling or doing enough with his blocking assignment in those situations in particular.

The one thing I will admit that I am tired of seeing this year or have NOT seen this year. This is well before Lawrence's knee injury. Lack of designed rollouts, bootlegs, sprints and layered route concepts.

We saw some of that last year. Where, Lawrence would roll to his right or left and you would have underneath, mid and deep routes being ran from the other side to his side he was rolling towards. Some of his best plays and moments are when he's outside of the pocket and on the move. I feel like that's been limited this year.

My other complaint. 3rd and 1 and we're playing from the shotgun formation. That probably burns my [BLEEP] up more than anything as a spectator. Do I expect them to line it up and run it right up the middle or do a QB sneak on EVERY 3rd and 1 and convert it? No. Of course not.

But, God [BLEEP] forbid on 3rd and 1 this team does less gun stuff and more under center stuff with Lawrence. Where's the split backfield? Where's the TE motion? Where's the creativity there? Why would we continue to insist upon running shotgun in these short situations knowing that the offensive line is struggling consistently, knowing that you're now putting the QB 5 yards away from the line needed to convert for a 1st down?

It's just bad coaching and bad decision making to me. Something I cannot grasp as a fan. 6 - 3 is nice. But, the offense has to start pulling it's weight soon and fast. Eight games left. They have to pick-up the tempo, they have to establish an identity outside of "Etienne early, not there? [BLEEP] it, we're done for". Because that seems to be the issue this year.

If Etienne can't go? Nothing goes. You cannot have that sense or feeling on gamedays with a QB of Lawrence's caliber, arm talent and potential. You cannot have this shutting down of the offense when you have a 3rd / 2nd RD pick invested in Ridley, contracts tied up on Kirk and Engram, etc. Something has to [BLEEP] give here.

What can the offensive line do as a unit? Figure that out first and stick to that more often than not. If it means getting mean and nasty on the left side in the ground game? [BLEEP] do it. If you have to add a TE out there to block more often? [BLEEP] do it. You dropped a 2nd RD pick on a guy for that specifically did you not?
