[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 590375, member: 265"] Yates is, as I've said, a Ricky Dobbs clone. He was like Mills, only instead of Paul praying for another [I]real[/I] Adrian Peterson, he was praying for another Dobbs. But he'll fit just fine in the new O, provided the coaches let him run. I don't actually think our QBs are going to be a problem. All of them were lights out in high school; all of them ran a shotgun spread. One of them will work out (probably Lucas) and do ok. We shouldn't expect Archie Manning in the first year, though that would be nice. I also think the OL will do fine; if you can block for the spread option, blocking for a shotgun is not much of a challenge. People make too much of pass blocking. The main reason we had trouble at that under Paul was a) lack of practice and b) 3 to 4 foot splits. I also doubt we'll have trouble finding the other pieces, especially at RB. If we have trouble - I think we will - it'll be because of the transition in scheme. But I don't expect that too last. D is going to be a problem. Losing Big B was a tragedy. Without him, we may lack the inner clog we'll need. Further, switching schemes again will probably lead to the same chickens-with-their-heads-cut-off scenario I expect for the first few games on O. And that may mean a record like NU's. I expect a lot of our games to be close; talent in the Coastal is very even. We'll just have to see. [/QUOTE]
