B. It's about the best running play they have because of the weakness in the center.

Great. Mid. Poor. Irrelevant when the players can't run basic offensive play. Taylor is good enough and diverting all this attention onto his play calls only obfuscates the real problem. Crimeny, when did I become Olinematters?

You think Press is a better play caller than Doug?

There are tons of examples. 

I think Doug calling plays wouldn't make what we see on the field any better because it's HIS offense. If he's not happy with how Taylor is calling it you really think he wouldn't step in? Do you think he has no say? Do you think Pederson calling plays makes Fortner a rock in the middle or makes Ridley catch those drops or Lawrence not check to plays that you don't like? Nah, you guys are caught up in video game football where the people not on the field have the controls. In the real world your center getting dumped on his [BLEEP] play after play after play means the team doesn't win.

Shatley's play at LG was abysmal.  If we saw anything this year as bad as Fortner it was Bartch and Shatley.
I don't have much interest in an experiment win finding out which player is terrible.A.1 and which player is terrible.A.2

The rest of your post is just spectacularly missing the point.

Shatley was never great, but he was solid in the past. I think the preseason heart concern and age pushed him right over the hill this year. Just another unforseen failure to meet expectation creating an unfillable gap in the roster.
