simplification versus repition

[The Goat]

Good thread!

The offense appears to be relatively simple still @ week 13 and I think it is indicative of the abysmal execution on gameday. Zorn sees it, talks about it and probably spends countless hours thinking about how to fix it. Point is he can't very well innovate when guys are failing at the basics of blocking, route running and, oh yeah, catching the f'ing ball. In all seriousness, if we executed Zorn's plays properly I believe the only losses we'd have today would be week 1 against NY and Pittsburgh.

The hard truth is to become a consistent win team we have to both innovate and get back to basics. The playbook should be augmented significantly but we have to start executing way better as well. It's a very tall order from where the offense is sitting today.
