Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 324052, member: 40"] How a defense defends IS contingent on playmakers, though. And opposing defenses aren't apt to take as many chances if they are scared about the offensive personnel being able to burn them. You don't play 9-in-the-box if you are scared about getting beaten deep. You don't jailbreak pass rush if you're worried about someone getting outside the containment and churning up big chunks of yardage. Establishing some playmakers means that teams will have to defend us honestly, which opens things up for everything else you try to do on offense. And no worries--I don't see it as much of a disagreement [because I am a proponent of using the Dome to our advantage via spread, and have advocated that for years, ask Millhouse] as being misaligned on what is ailing this offense. I view the real root of the problem on OL and not having game changing playmakers the last few years. Hopefully, that starts to change on both counts this season. [/QUOTE]
