How about this, coach? Don't call screens when the trend is that the other team is bringing the house on 1st & 2nd downs. We are talking about this over and over like we're watching a 22 year old dude calling plays for a high school football team.
Our opponents know it's coming. Doesn't matter if it's Ohio State's talent or Rutgers', so Rhule's conclusion is stupid.
The other team knows it's coming, we don't block it well, so do something different to get up on top of the blitz somehow. Just figure that out.
Something out wider might be good too, even if it's short. Like a sideline quick screen to one of the big receivers.

A screen is a great call when the other team is bringing the house.
Maybe not so much when your team has no idea how to execute it.

So your solution to not call so many screens is... call a screen?
I get it, they were terrible. But it's not like they called the same exact screen over and over. They need to execute better and block on the perimeter.
Also, the little flat route to the RB on the last drive (play before the pick) would have gone for a huge gain if the lineman would have looked inside to the middle backer instead of frolicking down the sideline with no one to block. The receivers actually had good blocks on that play.

We were calling them between the hashes where the defense was all game. Going out wider makes sense - if you're going to call them this much. That was the point.

The same could be said about almost every play ever ran. If someone did their assignment better they would all be good plays.
Which is still on the OC. So we're back to the question of "Do we fire Satterfield?"
If "Ifs and Buts" were candy and nuts...we'd all...something...something...Kwanza.
