Quick crossing routes, draw plays,, etc. Steichen should be capable of coming up with ways to defeat this pressure. If you're short on WRs, use multiple TEs.

I agree completely, Steichen is not calling plays to DJs strengths. He also doesn't seem to be able to counter when defenses change things up on him. If he were to lose his job at the end of the season, I doubt any NFL team would hire him as their OC!
