Eh, I wouldn't get too worked up about Lester's comments.  It's typical coach speak intended to get someone to prepare for all sorts of looks, etc.  By the 3rd game teams know what offense we will run.

I did see a bit of that Elmhurst film, but it's d3 players there and tough to get a good grasp.  If I really had to ballpark it, I would  wager the theme of the offense is going to be somewhere between RRod's and Marone/Hackett's pro spread.

RRod's zone running scheme is straight out of the Shannahan / Kubiak mold but out of the spread and does favor mismatches out of the HBack position (Tavon Austin would be an extreme example of this).  Marrone\Hackett favored WCO passing concepts out of the spread as well.

This is fine in theory, is just has to be executed properly, like any offense.  I can find plenty of crappy hurry up spread offenses (see Syracuse 2014).  I'll withhold judgement until I see the thing work or fail.  No use getting happy or angry now unless you want to get away from the TPS reports.
