If you go back to Indy in week 1, the Jaguars lined up in pistol/shotgun and ran 3 dive plays in a row, and they were all 3 to the same hole on the same side.

That’s when it became a problem. They ran 3 plays in a row at All-World DT, DeForest Buckner, and all 3 times they were stopped for 0 yards.

I'm not saying the play calling is perfect.  What I am saying is the play caller is severely handicapped by the physical weakness of our offensive line.  It's very hard to call pass plays that work consistently when the opposing team can shut down our running game so easily.  We become one-dimensional, the opposing team rushes the passer and covers the checkdown tightly, and play calling becomes really hard.
