    I've been saying this since the often season. The scheme is so condensed and the middle of the field is awfully congested. No deep threat means that defenses don't respect it so not only are our OWN people packed tight, so are defenders. And it's probably a combination of over compensating to squeeze the ball in a tight window that causes Mariota to overthrow, his fear of making a mistake, and even when he does put the ball where it needs to be, the receivers don't attack it. The unfortunate reality of our offense is that when the receiving corps has no speed, separation abilities, and the routes are right next to each other, then damn near EVERY throw will be contested.

    I agree. It's not just the receivers. The plays we are running don't help them get open at all.

    You also notice that the LB's are 4 wide and waiting for anyone out of the backfield, or for MM to take off running? Nice scheme.

    Why not? Not like we haven't kept in 4 extra blockers before.
