However, where are the seam passes in this offense?? Those are very effective mid-range passes for other teams and it doesn't appear like we attack the seams much - yet I think we have the personnel to be very effective with them if they were called more.

If Marcedes is the only player Fisch is calling seam routes for then thats a problem. They weren't even calling many for Marcedes when he was in there as it was. 

 

To me it just seems that Fisch prefers a horizontal offense rather than a vertical one, philosophy wise. That doesn't mean that Fisch won't ever utilize mid-range or down field attempts, just that he doesn't utilize them enough and he only seems to like to utilize them when the situation mandates it (when the Jags get behind). I think the Jags would be better off using more of the mid range and deeper passes aggressively in the beginning and even when ahead to try and build leads, but Fisch don't seem like that type of OC.

 

Lets be honest here - his offenses in Miami weren't exactly all that, either. I could buy the above where you were citing Fisch as claiming the offense "not ready" yet for more aggressive play calling if there actually was a history of that in Fisch's resume. But to me it seems like it "what you see is what you've got" with Fisch as an OC. He's never been one who has presided over a really high scoring, aggressive offense - not in the NFL and not in his background in college. He's got a track record of decent offenses at times in college but thats about the ceiling of it all.
