As pleased I am that we have a very productive WR tandem, I can't help but feel it would be so much better if we actually ran an offense that threatens teams vertically, not horizontally. But of course, that won't happen until we have a new offense/OC.
This Chip Kelly style offense was supposed to be a great thing. Except we took the most "attacking" aspect of it (the frenetic pace) and locked it away, then lost the key. Without the no-huddle and fast-pace, it's a dink and dunk offense that pads QB and WR stats but fails to do any real damage (unless you have one of those days where you house every play, thanks Texans). I can't imagine a single defensive coordinator that is phased by Lazor's offense, but everyone knows they are up for a challenge when facing Kelly's offense, even if it is just about managing personnel and substitutions.
Has anyone ever asked Lazor why they don't run the no-huddle? Have we ever gotten a decent answer? Is it because Lazor thinks we'd be too prone to mistakes with our dumb O-line? Are our guys not in good enough shape to do it? Can RT not run it?
I just don't get it.
