[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 524531, member: 639"] It is interesting try to forecast what our offense will look like. Will Patenaude try to run what he always ran at other places, or will he take portions of it and try and fit it to what our kids can do while in transition? Personally, I hope it is the latter. Deep snaps don't worry me so much. I think every QB we have in our system right now was doing it in HS. They will probably be comfortable. I welcome more passing, so long as we can do it effectively. My guess is we end up running 2/3 of the time out of a deep snap option base. On defense, I would love for the evidence to finally pour in that practicing against and recruiting against the 3O has hurt our defense all along. I not sure it has been true, but I am not sure it hasn't been either. While I have truly relished the offensive success we had under CPJ, the defense has often been infuriating. One of the fundamental truths about this sport is that defense wins championships. Thacker sounds fine to me and I am completely happy with a defense minded HC. I am looking forward to an era where we can struggle on offense for a few series, like against MINN, and still have a chance in the game because our defense is doing the same to the opponent. Most likely, we are headed to a Chan like era, EXCEPT in that, hopefully, we actually are able to recruit a QB who elevates the team. At the time, I was against the Chan firing, as I felt like he was always just a QB away from having consistently very good football teams. It is hard to really have confidence in your team or program when you either can't play solid defense consistently, or recruit a top notch QB to run the show. It seems we have not had both at the same time in quite a while. [/QUOTE]
