It's not the OC.  It's the O-line.  Can't run the ball.  Therefore, don't have time to read the field.  The OC knows this, and has to call plays to get the ball out quickly.

We can't run the ball because we darft light in the pants. We want fancy technicians and not beefy bruisers. We want smart overthinkers and not angry beasts.

Because we are light in the pants, we gotta try to win runs with misdirection, spread, and other slow, horizontal approaches. Players, not plays. With players, the plays are easier. Without the players, the plays have to adjust and are doomed to failure.
