Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 2357172, member: 2766"] Absolutely agree with the Johnson and Butler analysis. I will even go a step further and say a pure pocket passer (perhaps Devito) will be a much better fit for this offense than ED. I have said it in several threads, but this offense is meant for a pure pocket passer that has accuracy to consistently make these throws. ED has been great, and I absolutely believe HE is what this offense needs right here and now, but there has been several misses of guys running wide open. A pure pocket passer knocks those down more times than not. We haven't even begun to see what this offense is capable of. I'm sure Dino will be the first to tell you that he is frustrated with how effective the offense has been. Eventually (probably when our run game improves), the points will match the yards, and when they do we will have a top 10 offense in the country. I just happened to watch that Bowling Green team on several occasions that year since, admittedly, DFS had college tournaments. Bowling Green was one of my favorite teams to stack with Johnson, Roger Lewis, Dehiter, and Greene. They were a well oil machine. I wanted Dino to be our HC half way through that season in fact. Watching that offense was a thing of beauty. The crazy thing is, most people perceive it to be an air raid offense that rarely ran the ball, when in fact I would label the offense as a wanting to run downhill more than anything. Like they do now, they would line up Green and the back up (forgot the name, but also highly productive) and run the same up the middle run play every single time at an extremely high tempo. When things eventually get humming it's not going to be because of an improvement passing the ball, but because we can line up letting you know we are running right up the gut, and doing it play after play, for 5 yards a pop.
