Several very good points in this thread from LeMoyne and Htown.

We need to get away from conventional thinking with this offense when it comes to thinking run/pass preferences. This is not the AirRaid. This is a veer and shoot, with an emphasis on making the D respect the threat of the power running game. DB will stress the field vertically and horizontally (very wide splits from the WRs and the O line, [B]and[/B] with the pace of play. The D is forced to very quickly analyze formations and set alignments and coverages. The O will then exploit [B]wherever[/B] the D is weakest.

We will see a lot of zone read options with a bubble screen tag (or inside slants). Get used to the term RPO (run pass option). In addition to the above, the QB will also be making run/pass options on the fly (after the snap) as the D reacts.  We are definitely going to see Dungey keep the ball on a zone read option, run parallel to the LOS and then pull up to pass if the D over commits, or keep the ball if uncovered (but sliding as the D converges). We are going to see power runs off the zone read, and play action off the run threat to deep verticals when we get 1:1 coverage.

This is going to be fun to watch!
