[QUOTE="GoCuse44, post: 32811"]
We have read in the newspaper that Hackett & Marrone have implemented the Saints/Packers offense at SU. Although it has been successful at the NFL level those two teams also have two of the best QB's in the NFL. The Packers not only have a great QB they have three big time wide receivers (Jennings, Driver, Nelson), a top notch tight end (Finley), and they utilize their fullback (Kuhn) in short yardage situations.

I would say we have a solid QB (with limited mobility), a lack of talent/experience at the wide receiver postition, and a solid TE in Provo. The one position our coaching staff has not utilized at all is the fullback position in short yardage situations.

I was wondering if the problem is that we simply do not have the talent at wide receiver to successfully run the Packers/Saints pro style offense at this point in time.

Over the next two years I hope the group of talented freshman and sophmore WR's (Foster, West, Flemming) improve, Adonis Moore will take on a role like Kuhns has with the Packers, and Marrone will have a couple of more recruiting classes filled with the athletes he needs to fully implement this offense.
