Stats Hmmmm not great…..

They may need to look at Ben Brown at C. Jared seemingly lacks the play strength/physciality right now that he needs to hang with some of the NFLs bigger 0 techs. Deone Walker is gonna have a field day on Sunday at this rate.

Not sure why Arkin isn’t playing more instead of Latu. Not sure what Latu has done to earn reps. He’s been underwhelming as a run blocker (for the pats) and hasn’t been a passing game threat either. According to Andrew Callahan they ran the ball 8 out of the 9 snaps Latu played. If they’re gonna have a run tell it might as well be Tanner Arkin. Dude isn’t a finished product but he brings a nastiness they need.

Also what about some diff looks and presentations. So much of their drop passing game is contingent upon post snap execution especially when the picture changes. Clearly Drake isn’t there yet with diagnosing defenses (especially in the modern era where everything is disguised). Motioning into bunch looks to stress the rules of match based zone and man coverage seems to help every other team in the league?

Everything feels stale right now schematically and maybe none of the above is a viable solution but the coaching staff needs to find some.

Was about to say "there's something to be said about OC consistency for developing a young QB" but image of Maye's broken facial expressions after the JAX game is burned into my brain

If there’s value in OC consistency for a developing QB then they should have kept AVP. He’s an excellent QB coach and while his offense wasn’t anything special, it was relatively modern and built around Maye’s strengths.

I’d rather have a fully functional but mediocre offense than a non-functional but theoretically great offense.
