Nice job. You and @mb5789 tactfully pushed Mike for answers on the lapses on offense and defenses.

I'm no X's and O's savant, however, even I wondered why there seem to be 2 basic goal line plays. Are crossing routes on page 20 of the goal line playbook, or do we not have the talent to run crossing routes? Being facetious here. Could be part of the "ball is the program" mentality of playing it safe? Maybe the should flip the script and change that to "the program has balls" and go for broke.
I know they mentioned fade routes as the only play inside the 10 yd line. I guess it matters which games are watched. For about the first 5 games, I thought the only 3rd or 4th down plays near the goal line they had were rub routes with the ball always thrown in front of the goal line to our smaller WRs. It was really bothering me. Thought they would be much better with fade routes to either Strong or Dunn.
I think I like "the program has balls" better. Not saying that we go totally nuts with play calling, but some calculated balls would be fine.
Shifts, motion, unbalanced formations
It's not rocket science or "new age analytics".
Lining up and just looking at the defense allows them to react and set up before the ball is snapped.
The notion that an even balanced formation is the ideal stopped a two decades ago.

Seems like the rub routes rubbed you the wrong way.
On the fade routes, you said Strong or Dunn (is that a Brooks and Dunn reference?)--I know you meant Duff (and slap me for being a smartarse). The way Mike addressed that was maybe they picked the players that showed best in practice on the fade routes.
I heard this was KC's favorite song, and maybe they could get KC and the Sunshine band to do a remake? Here are some lyrics for the remake by Weird Al Yankovic:
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love fade routes, you see
I'm gonna call fade routes all day
Well, it's my call, it will not fade away
Oh, well, it's my call and it will not fade away
My OL is bigger than a Cadillac
Hand the ball off and they push us back
Your love for my offense has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel . . . .
