Hard to push the ball down the field, when you have a coach calling nothing but screens. Flores isn't dumb, he went fine we'll rush 7-8, beat us with it then. Whenever they tried to push down the field it was in obvious downs and WRs were always covered. Meanwhile you have a running game that was averaging 4 a carry stopped calling it for a screen.
also hard to push downfield when you have no time to throw because you’re being blitzed
There are other ways to respond to pressure than endless screens. A blitzing linebacker or defensive back is a gap in the coverage, you just need to have routes available that can take advantage of it
Justin Fields can't take advantage of it. That's why we have to call screens.
From his scouting reports:

"Can freeze when seeing the blitz Must get better at passing in the face of the rush Blitz recognition needs work"

"Field vision is average in face of the blitz. Missed open blitz beaters in the middle of the field against Indiana. Gradual operation time prevents expedited release."
