From the episode

The problem is it's the same issues that are rearing their ugly head. You talk about protecting and elevating Justin Herbert. They lose so many offensive linemen. They're right back in the bad plays that they were in in years past, where Herbert's got to play hero. Except this time, in this offense, he's operating in a complex scheme that he still hasn't found his footing in.
