The route choices and spacing on some of these plays are terrible. Either the play design is bad, the position coaches aren't instructing players on how to run the plays properly (wr, te, rb) or the players aren't intelligent enough to be able to assimilate the coaching.

I doubt it's the intelligence thing because it seems endemic, and I can't believe that all of our skill players can't be coached while other teams all can be. I'm guessing the plays are intentionally designed this way and guys are running the plays the way Doug and Press want them to...

The biggest issue right now is we have the best weapon on this team down due to an injury. That was Trevors best security blanket.

Don't you not think that also falls on the QB and not just 100% on the coach?

He has the potential.  He just needs a mentor that can get him to the next level.

So what has Cooter done in Indy so far? Since you seem to think his departure is huge?

Hurts not having Engram for sure, however, we have seen an uptick in production from Strange early this year as his stand-in. I am hoping this is something we exploit once Engram is actually back and available. Having a pair of TE's to use in this offense receiving wise could prove monumental for Lawrence. 

As far as the time difference between play caller to QB to huddle to actual snap? I am honestly not sure. It seems like it was improving though in Houston and it felt like Lawrence was at least getting everything lined-up between 10 - 12 seconds with the play clock. 

Cooter has been the offensive coordinator since last year for the clots. In that time span, he's gone from Richardson, to Minshew, back to Richardson and now Flacco. They're currently 16th overall, so, right in the middle of the pack. They were 10th in points and 15th in yards last year. I think he's done an admirable job. 

Keep in mind, he only had Jonathan Taylor last year for 7 games. He's already got him heavily involved just 4 games into the year already. They're on a 2 game win streak. They'll have momentum coming into town on Sunday for sure.
