[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 268118, member: 2175"] As I noted I don't do X and O stuff because I am not very good at it. But I know guys on the board who are, and i have read tons of material on Johnson's offense, and there is no question as to the value of the midline. Thomas is really good at some stuff, not so good at other stuff. The midline is one, and as another poster noted, he misses a lot of reads and one of the results is that almost everybody, including TV analysts, think it is a dive play when actually it should not have been. As I noted in an earlier post, he is really good at winning. He has a knack, whatever that is. But I think ND started Tech's decline last season when they embarrassed us with a kind of okay defense but an outstanding middle linebacker. He backed up two steps from the LOS and became a free range guy because nobody could get to him and we couldn't make him stay home. To me that became the model for "figuring out" the offense all season. We could no longer get to the edge nor handle the middle. Thomas is in there because he can win, but if you recall about mid-season when we got on another November roll, Johnson said he had "simplified" the play calling to help him. Now, I couldn't run it either, nor probably could anybody on this board because those decisions come rapid fire in this offense. He is "in there" because he can win. To note a player's deficiencies does not imply anybody on the board is saying can the guy. My wife is a bad cook but I ain't gonna divorce her. [/QUOTE]
