To me, it seems like a vast majority of pass plays we run are designed to be caught outside the hash marks....rarely does it ever seem we throw it over the middle via the tight end or quick slants to a slot receiver. The defense can shade to the sidelines and not worry about getting burnt down the middle.

The WR screens were generally RPOs where the read told them throw out to the WRs.

I seriously doubt that to be the case. I think the coaches called a lot of WR screens in from the sidelines as the play to be run. Most of them happened way too quick to be a run/pass option.
