I was listening to a podcast that stated a fair amount of Shanahan styles offenses don’t include the QB in recognizing protections which makes it all on the center. With this mindset, Stroud doesn’t have the knowledge base to call make changes.Because of Slowik. He doesn’t trust Cj to run the offense. Cj doesn’t audible at the line of scrimmage. The shannahan scheme more times than not lets the center do the pass protection while other schemes usually let the Brady’s, mannings and Mahomes call out the blitz. You can see every game Cj trust is going down. He was under the impression that Slowik and strausser taught the offensive line so they know what they’re doing but that shows up because when they get tricked with certain blitzes, we see Cj shows frustration when it doesn’t work out.
Slowik offensive scheme works well when you have a great center like Kelce who can call everything on the line.
He’s so caught up in his slide protection scheme. One guy is usually blocking 1 man while the other 4 are teaming up in a double team and the o line is guessing wrong on a lot of the plays due to the stunts and other trickery schemes. That’s where teams are really exposing them. Great offenses know how to do man to man protection. Great football minds will sit down and wonder if Slowik came into the season expecting defenses not to figure out his scheme. What’s even worse is he’s forcing it although it’s getting exposed and is looking worse every game. Life is tough on Cj right now
