Message: [QUOTE="Pyle, post: 132404, member: 137"] Don't like analogies fine. My point is that everything looks good in theory including Hackett's offense. But if you can't execute it then it doesn't work. That simple enough for you without making comparisons? Grob's dog and pony show of switching the formation did not change the core of the offense which was West Coast principles. I don't care of we lined up in the pistol, under center, or whatever. Fact is it was an offense predicated on ball control, accumulating small chunks of yardage, and using up the clock. Wait a minute...Yes DM is running another NFL offense and it sucks. Building an offense for our players? YEAH THATS IT! The only difference between DMs offense and Grob's offense is that Grob thought the pass could setup the run, DM thinks the run can setup the pass. Reality is that if you don't have an accurate QB who can deliver catchable balls then you don't try to setup the pass, nor do you use the pass to setup anything else. Cause regardless which one you try that in one unbalanced equation and doomed for failure. If you can't pass then don't do it. Nassib holds the single season record for passing attempts and we finished dead last in the BE. 66th in passing ypg, 84th in team scoring. Something doesn't add up. I'm gonna repeat that...84TH! You're right we didn't have a breakout WR, didn't have a QB with any touch, didn't have an OL that could block very well so let's play a PRO STYLE offense which is designed for guys who can do all those things in the NFL. There's your stroke of genius! Brilliant I say! With our subpar QB and WR play this year we had no business in any kind of passing offense. We also didn't have a Delone Carter to push up the middle 30 times a game. So what do you do? You run a college offense based on deception, misdirection, and running. Many of us call it an option style offense. There are many to choose from. We forced a pro style offense on a bunch of kids who don't have pro skill sets and it resulted in a horrible offense that was supposed to carry a younger, inexperienced defense. It didn't happen and this horrendous season is the result. Barely getting wins over FCS and Mac opponents, and getting stomped in the worst BCS conference in the country. Yeah, ugh is right.
