It's execution, I don't think it's so much innovation. A screen pass is timing, primarily the offensive line, selling it successfully. With the issues they always had with the line it doesn't surprise me they didn't bother with screen passes. It was beyond their capabilities to function as a unit. That they couldn't defend against them was a lack of discipline. I screen works against an aggressive pass rush. It's a question of recognizing it, that its developing and checking down the rules for defending it, be disciplined.
I guess the line is an issue on both sides of the ball. I just feel more concern about the offensive line than the defensive. They've brought in coaches. I mean it's the same sort of line. If they can get the line running smoothly which I'm thinking will be key to making things work then it would really point at a coaching issue rather than a personell issue, I mean in the past.
Im not as convinced it's going to work as some here, at least not as smoothly but it certainty is interesting. They could have gone a lot more conservative on the offensive side seems to me . You got a rookie HC thats worked with defenses. To then hand the offense to not only additional rookies but rookies without pro experience. I think it might require some patience.
