#1. Linehan and Garrett run a basic predictable offense. They do not do a good job of scheming guys open( this is why Cooper is such a good pickup, he gets open with his ability only). Garrett gets extremely conservative at the end of games we are leading in. The only time they allow Dak to go no huddle is at the end of games when we are behind( Dak is at his best in no huddle, in my opinion). We do not run enough play action on 1st and 2nd down( again we are predictable, all the good offenses are NOT predictable ).
#2. The pass blocking is bad way to often. (Some of this is on the coaches though. See #1. We are predictable) Sometimes, Dak does hold onto the ball to long.
#3. We have a very weak intermediate/long passing game. Some of that is on Dak definitely, and some of it is on Garrett and Linehan, and some of it is because the O line breaks down to quickly. We don’t get enough chunk pass plays(take advantage of Zek’s run threat and go play action on early downs).
Everyone around here wants to blame one player or coach. This inconsistent, mediocre, and sometimes ugly( 3-4 three and outs tonight) Offense is due to 3 main factors. Me personally, I put the highest % of blame on Garrett and Linehan.

A simple addition would just be more playaction. We really should be running playaction on a near majority of dropbacks. I dont know if they just want Daks eyes in front, but he/we are typically very, very effective when we use it.

It's so easy, is really made for our use case (with teams eyeing Zeke so strongly), and Dak is so good at it, I don't know why we aren't #1 in playaction attempts.

Is this guy a warlock? What is a croc of 9 tails? Is he going to cast a spell on me? Turn me into a good little happy fan that always says, “thank Jason for being so nice and mediocre.
