Lawrence and Wilson had their entire offense built around them from the ground up, an entire training camp at the helm where the offense is constructed. Jones got lots of work with the 1s even before Cam was dumped. Lance didn’t get as much with Jimmy G around, and it probably shows. Fields got zero. A donut. Nada. Remarkable how shut out of the plans and first group Fields was while they steadfastly built this Dalton dink and dunk. How unprepared the coaching staff has gotten him, and the team/plays for him. Now Fields has only one week away from running the scout team, and all that neglect is not going to matter? This is doubtful.
That's a perfect way to build in excuses for Fields if he doesn't do well-- it's all Nagy's fault now.
There are people in town like Olin Kruetz that openly wonder if anyone on that particular staff knows how to build an offense around Fields in the first place. Certainly Nagy had no idea what he was supposed to do with Trubisky.
1st year with Mitch was good, then his warts started to show and IMO they were right to move off of him.
Foles was doomed because of injuries at the Oline/COVID
I wouldn't say the Dalton led offense sucked, so that's a plus.
Tom Herman from Texas was brought in to help with the inside zone scheme.
https://texas.thefootballbrainiacs.com/2017/03/the-herman-offense-inside-zone/The Ravens run a zone running scheme with plenty of RPOs and blew out the Browns in week 1 and dropped 48 on em in their second game. The HC for the Texans came from the Ravens and they played them extremely close this week.
What I do know is this, we absolutely can't be dropping Fields back there to get eaten up by their d-line. Landry looks to be out and if Goldman comes back along with Mario Edwards, there's enough talent on our d-line to slow down the Browns running attack.
