[QUOTE="jackets55, post: 621825, member: 3714"] Since the NFL doesn't use "spread" offenses, there really isn't a "pro-style" spread offense., unless you say using 5 linemen, TE, QB and any combination of rb/wr makes it "pro-style". The use of that term, as several have pointed out, is purely marketing. To be honest, the college game is almost exclusively not pro-style with the exception of a couple of schools. This is mainly because your quarterback is expendable in college and not so much in the NFL. In 2018 only 4 QB in the NFL rushed the ball more than 5 times per game. While some had a more balanced run/pass offense it wasn't due to the QB running the ball. I keep hearing that our current OC and HC will fit the offense to the players and I hope they will. But if that was [B]100%[/B] the case, we would have left the spread option in the playbook for short yardage situations since 3/4ths of the players already could run them, especially our QBs. It is kind of ironic that our first TD was on an option pitch. I think a lot of the people who finally got their wish and saw GT can the option, were either misled or misinformed that we were going to start flinging the ball all over the lot. As a matter of fact, the HC stated as much on the ACCN during game week. This will be a work in progress and fans need to be patient. The good news is the team looked motivated even in defeat. We can give kudos to the players for that. Sometimes the other team is just better. Go Jackets [/QUOTE]
