Even though Wells played well last year, the play calling seemed to be designed to get the ball out of Bortles' hands quickly to avoid sacks.

I don't know that I can fault this line of thinking by the staff though. Not only was Robinson gone, but so was Cann. And you're facing Orakpo, Morgain and Casey. You'd have to think that their defense was going to focus on the new guys and pressure them. A lot. 

The QB needed to be more accurate and the Pass Catchers needed to hold on to the throws. I was okay with the strategy, just looked like the execution was off.

The problem is that the offense became a caricature of itself way past the point of diminishing returns. Seems as if the offense completely eschewed attacking deep, even when Adoree Jackson left the game.

While I'm convinced Fournette will change the dynamic some, can we afford to play that conservative (reminding that conservative football is not to be confused with ineffective football)?
