I want to understand why our offensive scheme is bad (alien.top)

It’s fairly common to see comments that suggest Getsy’s scheme is bad, but no one ever explains why it’s bad. People also mention we throw too many screens without explaining what we should run instead. What makes the scheme bad? We had the best running game in the league last year. Surely something is good?

It’s even more upsetting because Getsy was able to make a transition last year and embrace Field’s running ability. That also minimized to an extent our subpar o-line. But now it’s like last year didn’t even happen, and we’re back to trying to turn Justin into Peyton Manning.

Conversely, that scheme that Getsy stole from last year (the Ravens) have replaced that system with one that is more pass heavy. And LaMar is playing like an MVP while still embracing his running ability. So it can be done, but it takes innovative and pliable coaching.
