They just added an X receiver and changed the routes at that one position to suit that guy's skillset.
The other guys are doing what they did. 
This makes perfect sense. 

It's not working out well, but it isn't a different offense. Just tweaked. 

I'm truly sorry you aren't able to understand that because I'm seriously tired of explaining it.

Why in God's name would a super bowl winning head coach in his second year building up a young QB just throw away the offense he just taught that QB? 
It would NEVER happen. 
The continuity is immensely valuable in that players development. 
Please try to think about that for a second.

Also - no one attacked you. You were called out because you were wrong. That happens when you post things on the internet.
I never insulted you until you got chippy with me.

And yet it it's exactly what happened!  LOL.  Press Taylor is in charge of the offense, the game plan, and the game day play calling.  That's a fact.  

Trevor Lawrence has not looked as good as last year.  That is a fact.  The offensive line is bad this year, but again, it's not as though it was that great last year either!  I don't know how many times I have to remind you guys about that.  About 2 months ago, I compared PFF scores from last year compared to this year.  Fortner was bad last year.  Scherff had games where he was good, and games where he was hot garbage.  Just like last year.  

Last year we had Juwaan Taylor who was on a contract year.  His performance was pretty consistent.  But I would argue that our LT situation this year is similar to last year, maybe a bit down, but not it's not such a drop off that would account for how much this offense has regressed.  Harrison is inconsistent as was Little last year...

This offensive line is bad.  Nobody is saying otherwise.  However, the abysmall drop off in productivity in terms of TDs, 3rd down conversions.  Red Zone success (specifically the 2nd half of 2022).  4th Down conversions.  Even the average distance Lawrence throws a pass is down.  And they aren't down just a little, but there are significant drop offs in TDs, in Red zone success, in 3rd and 4th down conversions...  

The level of the drop off, compared to the drop off in PFF grades for the O-Line by position/player just doesn't hold up.  The O-Line last year was not good either.  It just wasn't.  Was it as bad as this year?  I don't know, maybe a little bit better last year than this year.  But the O-Line's regression doesn't match up with the regression that we're seeing in terms of offensive productivity.

Hey finally, something that you said that makes sense:  "The continuity is immensely valuable in that players development."

Yes, continuity is very important.  Going from the absolute [BLEEP] show of Urban Meyer to the genius of Doug Pederson proves very valuable for Trevor.  Why Pederson decided to change that all up for a 3rd straight year is absolutely insane.  And yet here we are.  Watching it happen.  You blaming it all on the O-Line and not where it should be.  Right there on the OC.  And to be honest, if Pederson is gonna pull this crap with his "coaching tree" like he did in Philly?  His seat is gonna get really hot really fast.  The Press Taylor experiment isn't working.  We're gonna beat the tacks and get back to 7-3.  We're gonna be fine in the short term.  

But it's obvious the offense is regressing.  This regression has as much to do with Press (and Pederson's stubborness to make Press happen) as with the O-Line's ineptitude.
