No Huddle/ Spread Offense
I have nothing against the no huddle/spread. I recognize that many of the best offenses are running it, but I am not sure we have the personnel to run it effectively. We have a QB that has not been mobile for two years, although I hear he looks better mobility wise now that he is healthier. Another thing to consider is that our OL was recruited here to run a pro style offense. Is anyone else as concerned about this as I am?

Spring 2012 wants it's worthless optimism back.RoadDawg55 said:How do you guys feel about every play from the Spring Scrimmage being out of the shotgun? I have been watching some games from last year saved on my dvr, and we ran the ball much better from under center than the shotgun. If you chart Bishop Sankey's highlight tape on youtube, you will find the same thing. The majority of his nice runs are with Price under center.

I'm just glad there were no injuries.

The spread for this team is a disaster. Terrible line that can't pass block, poor mobility at QB, receivers that drop passes and can't separate, marginal speed, etc. This is not a spread formula.
An offense is only as good as its line. This line does run block fairly well. If we run, and the other team can't stop it, they pull players closer to the line and it opens up the pass as we've seen. But this is offensive genius.....Cream Puff doesn't see it. (His nose is always buried in the play book; he doesn't have time to watch play on the field.)
So long story short, I'm not worried, because there's not much to worry about. This year is yet another wait till next season offering. -

I know. As Grinolds points out, I'm a negative asshole. That's why I'm here; there are many other negative assholes to hang out with.
Having said that, I'm incapable of moving on. -
I don't believe this spread and hurry-up is similar to Oregon's offense as it is Oklahoma's.
I could be wrong though....but I don't believe it's a whole lot of read-option stuff. -
Not really a lot of productive comments on this thread. Just people trying to post more witty one-liners than the next guy.RoadDawg55 said:How do you guys feel about every play from the Spring Scrimmage being out of the shotgun?

In response to your question, I don't understand why 'no huddle' = shotgun. Why can't a hurry up offense also feature a QB under center? It's weird to me. One answer could be that a shotgun formation means that the offensive line (which sucks) has to hold their blocks for a shorter period of time.
Anyway, I hear what you're saying. Sankey had a lot of good runs with Price under center, and my fear is that "pass-happy-Sark" is willing to sacrifice our already-good run game, for a hope-to-be-good passing game. -
The Spring "game" was all rope-a-dope. Boise JC will see something way different and they won't even know what hit 'em. That's my prediction and I'm sticking with it all the way through August.
