When you say, "This is beginning to pick up more traction now," what do you mean by "this?"

That there's been a leak of growing concerns in the front office linked to Baalke not happy with Pederson's decisions to turn over play calling duties offensively to Press Taylor. Between Dilla's tweet, Albert Breer's report last night or the night prior, a Jaguarwire's or Big Cat Country article highlighting this, there's something to it. 

We all know of Pederson's willingness to lose his job for his coaching staff. Especially on offense with Press Taylor. Laurie ran him out of town for this willingness, because, much like the concerns here, there's a tendency to pin the blame on the offenses' failures on the new guy calling the plays. 

I don't have a dog in this fight really. Well, I say that, but, if I had to list the primary issues on offense that I saw last year? It would be:

1. Offensive line strength
2. Lack of running game
3. Dropped passes on offense
4. Turnovers
5. 4th down gambling decisions
6. Some play call choices

The fact that I can pinpoint 5 issues before I even begin to complain or get nit picky about the play calling, especially for a first time play caller, it makes me think he's not the issue, nor is Lawrence. I think the issue is personnel and weaknesses and that's a combination of Baalke's decision making and scouting department along with Pederson and his staff signing off on some of these subtractions and additions to the offense personnel wise. 

So, it'll be interesting to see if anything comes out of it. There was even another odd rumor going around last night, that, apparently, we're interviewing Keenan McCardell for the OC job. Which would mean Baalke may have won this fight or perceived issue. Not REALLY buying that completely, again, the source was Dilla via tweeting. So, we'll see.
