Or maybe they are just using him wrong as his stats in zone blocking would suggest they are. Funny how last year 24 teams had zone blocking 50% or more of the time but somehow because Nagy wants to gap block, suddenly a dude that excelled in zone blocking is no longer good.
It's not about the blocking scheme, it's about the offensive scheme as a whole. When I say old school zone run offense i mean the old Broncos style offenses which are based around running first and play action off of the run. The running back wasn't a huge part of the passing game. There are very few run based offense left in the NFL.
Someone else suggests it's fine because Howard runs and Cohen catches, but that is exactly the issue. The offense is based on misdirection and unpredictability. A guy like Howard needs to be in an offense that is run first.
