It just seems like there's been a run of these former QBs and/or exclusive QB coaches who are now OCs (or OCs who became HCs). Reich, Nagy, Pederson, O'Connell, Taylor, Dorsey, Kafka...
And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it does mean you can't just sit in your office messing around with the playbook all day. At some point you have to get your hands dirty with the OL, and I feel like so many of these guys just seem to be really hands off when it comes to that stuff.

It about can’t be, because the protections change as the play changes and as the defense changes. So you can dick off and do cool shit and awesome route concepts, but it’s going to change the blocking scheme, especially if it involves the TE. And the really damaging TE plays are when they feign blocking and leak out after the coverage bails.
It almost can’t be.
But nothing would surprise me anymore.
