[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 60357, member: 56"] Excellent post. To answer your question though...he had an OL that was much better than ours and his receivers were overall better than ours. It also didn't hurt to have Tre Mason in the backfield with him. And I DO realize your question was rhetorical, since you obviously know this stuff better than I do. But one other thing that he had though....he had a slightly simpler option read than our QB's. The spread option they run is a fairly simple to teach/implement/execute read on the playside DE. It's also read from the shotgun, so their mesh point has a bit of separation from the O-line, whereas our mesh happens "in the trash" quite often. Given that separation, you can take a guy like Nick Marshall and let him simply use his athleticism to try & escape the pocket when the crashing defensive lineman or linebacker makes it through to try & disrupt the mesh. Sometimes he gets caught but often times, he is able to use his quickness and at least escape the initial tackle. At which point, he may opt to pitch, keep or potentially even throw it away (depending on the OL blocking scheme on whether that would be legal or not). [/QUOTE]
