[QUOTE="stylee, post: 911932, member: 882"] Right. I remember seeing Marshall against Tennessee and thinking his accuracy looked pretty good on some plays despite not having much oomph to his throws. But he wasn't consistently accurate on the mid-length and short throws thereafter, so the lack of the deep ball hurt worse. It was tough to keep the safeties back. JFN was not a pinpoint passer but he could throw a nice 50-yard bomb (and it didn't hurt to have Bebe going deep for those). In the Marshall era, Jeune was a nice deep threat despite a relative lack of speed because of his ability to locate and go up for a throw. Ah, well. Did Lucas ever play in the regular season? I seem to recall a spring game where he busted a very long run. I wanted him to be the guy. FWIW, I don't think calling Chadwell a "triple option guy" would be much of a ding as far as having GT go back to the "triple option." For the vast majority of people, the negative of CPJ's offense really did just come from it being under center, lol. Chadwell's offense is very different in other ways too, but 99% of people have no idea what any of this stuff means ---- what they see is where the QB is in relation to the center, and that's pretty much the most meaningful thing to them. "Evolving" a scheme - like the flexbone - just means moving it to the pistol or shotgun, generally. For a genuine evolution or change, try to watch an Air Force game replay from this year. They're superficially a flexbone triple-option looking team, but what they're up to this season is quite different. I'm not sure if it's just because that Roberts kid at B-Back is a stud or if it's permanent. [/QUOTE]
