It is difficult to teach the WCO, when only one person on the offensive staff really understands. And I imagine it's also difficult when one part of the offense is trying to learn the WCO, while another (the running game) is using the same schemes as last year.

I think he got the point across though. Our recent struggles have little to do with players not knowing the system, IMO. We just can't block for the runners anymore.
So we're left with with a passing offense that's effective, snap to snap, but not good enough to get into the end-zone all by itself. I don't think were very far from the point where the passing offense could be effective without a rushing offense, but we clearly need our receivers to develop before we are there.
Earlier in the season, the running game was there when we needed it. I just don't think it is anymore. I doubt this is because of any lack of knowledge. I just think our OL without Samuels has no prefered side that we can get behind when we really need yards.
