[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 605575, member: 639"] I'm not as worried about the OL, in terms of learning the schemes, techniques, and assignments etc. I don't think there is a single more complicated blocking scheme with quicker reads required than the one they are transitioning away from. I feel pretty sure the present offense will be easier to digest and execute for the guys up front. I am more concerned about depth and body types and the like. Without a doubt, we will be a more balanced team on offense. However, I suspect we will lean towards the run more than most programs. I am fine with that. Passing is great, but we have to move the sticks consistently. The rest of the CFB community seems to have a complete lack of respect for our ability to pass the ball, hence the low predictions. I don't really share that mainstream view at all. Our kids can throw. You have to remember, in our last offense, we mainly threw the ball vertically, as a change up, taking snaps under center with our OL lining up in wide splits with their butts up in the air. That will no longer be the case. Taking a SG snap and being deep and scanning the field earlier will be massive help. You can read blitzes immediately without having to finish your drop first. My prediction: we will look like a real passing offense once we add the dink and dunk stuff like other teams. We will have a strong option component to the run game and our QBs are lethal with their feet. That is an advantage that must and will be exploited. I expect teams will really have to commit a lot of resources to keep our run game from grinding them in the dirt. That will open up play action and RPO stuff that our guys are very capable of executing. [/QUOTE]
