While there are a few criticisms that can be directed at New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur for his role in the team’s bad season-opening offensive performance, I thought LaFleur did a decent job overall. Most of the team’s struggles had to do with poor execution by the players.
With better pass-blocking, better quarterback play, and no fumbles or drops, the offense would have produced respectable results. LaFleur schemed up plenty of opportunities to make plays. The run game was solid and receivers were frequently open in the passing game. He can’t make Joe Flacco throw more accurately or stop guys from dropping passes and fumbling.
