[QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4123396, member: 4819"] I am very curious as to what the Syracuse offense will look like in '22. They return a very good starting unit, but very little proven depth, and they loose their QB in Rhefuss. I imagine that Seebold will take over "X", but in watching him play these last few years (albeit out of position for most of it) he does not strike me as a typical "QB". He attacks from the behind the goal very well and uses his big frame and decent speed to make layups. But I haven't seen much vision from the super senior from Texas. So who will be the QB? It will probably be Hiltz, but like wgdsr pointed out, you kind of rob Peter to pay Paul as he is probably the best shooter on the team. He had very even goal/assist totals in high school, but like Jeremy pointed out, he will probably be best when he has someone else to play off of. The second best passer on the team is Curry, and I would not be surprised if they invert him a ton, especially if he can draw short sticks. The rest of the team though really lacks when it comes to moving the ball unfortunately. Quinn and Dordevic combined for just 10 assists last year and Buttermore has just three assists in his entire career. An X factor could be Fiorini, if he ever figures things out, as he was a pass first midfielder in high school. The question of motion vs isolation offense is an essential one. I am not a huge Xs and Os guy, but I see some players better suited for motion, and others for iso. Dordevic, Buttermore, Seebold and Quinn really seem like guys who want to take the defense on by themselves. I think however, a move to a more Canadian offense, with lots of movement and picks and switches could open things up, and would probably play right into the hands of the best player on the team in Hiltz. Heck it won the Chaos a PLL title this past year and they certainly didn't have a player you would call a "QB". The other option is, I think would be to run a Virginia-like offense (they also didn't have what you would call a distributor), but I think the Cavs have unique personnel that frankly the Orange can't match right now. Obviously Gait comes from a very Canadian background, and while I haven't watched a ton of footage of him coaching the Women's team, what I did see involved a lot of movement. So while most of the personnel isn't suited to motion, I think it's because of that fact the move to a more movement based offense makes sense. In a way it will force certain players to move the ball around, and hopefully break some bad habits. Others on this board with a better understanding of X's and O's might very much disagree with me. I know Kevin Donahue tried this a few years ago, but this is a whole different batch of players, and Gait might bring some unique perspective to the transition. [/QUOTE]
