[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 59368, member: 216"] I agree with that sentiment. But... I am a huge fan of this offense, but I will admit that one of the main weaknesses is the ability to pass in obvious passing situations. Granted, most offense are going to be worse than normal in those circumstances, but it is going to be an even bigger deal in our offense. The main reason for this is just that we're not built that way. Our QB is going to be a better runner than passer. Our offensive line are going to be better run blockers than pass blockers. Our WR's aren't really affected. And finally, our practice reps are going to be more devoted to the things our offense is built for. Some QB's thrive passing when the pressure is on (Hamilton, Montana, Brady, etc) ... Our QB's thrive in other ways. Our QB needs to thrive in making reads when the pressure is on. And, our QB needs to thrive in getting tough yards with his legs, among other athletic things. And, if he can thrive in throwing too ... we'll be in the promised land. BUT, on the other side of that coin, passing in our offense, when it's not an obvious passing situation, is often much MORE effective than in other offenses - thus our normally higher ypa, ypc, and high pass efficiency numbers. So, it's a give and take. As long as our defense is keeping us in the game, we can stay in our gameplan anyway, and we can run or pass the ball on 3rd and 8 and still pick up the first at just as good of a rate as a passing team. Your strengths and weaknesses often come from the same place. [/QUOTE]
