I think Lazor's offensive scheme is fine, but it doesn't fit with the talent on the current roster. Take our receivers for example. Our offense relies on the QB getting the ball out of his hands quickly to allow the receivers to turn upfield quickly. Right now, we don't have receivers that transition into runners after the catch.
Landry was our best with 443 yards of YAC out of his 758 total receiving yards. That put him at 18th in the NFL in YAC. Our other skill starters: Clay ranked 67th, Wallace 75th, Miller 79th, and Hartline 173rd. Those aren't great numbers. What New England's receivers and backs do so well...what they're asked to do in the scheme...is beat the coverage first on quick hitting routes and then get upfield quickly. YAC prowess is why the Patriots ALWAYS seem to be in 2nd & 3 rather than 2nd & 7.
I'm hoping Lazor has already spoken to Hickey about this. Yes, we could use more size for better success in the vertical passing game and in the red zone, but YAC should be a priority when scouting receivers. Better YAC can be accomplished with stronger, physical receivers (Landry) or quicker, short area quickness receivers (more like Bess used to be). Hartline and Wallace are deficient in both cases. In addition to better receivers, Tannehill must improve his consistency in ball placement to give the receivers better chances to turn upfield.
