[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 26558, member: 56"] Well I can't speak for the motivation of others but I was the one who introduced the "it's not a spread" to the thread and I can assure you it's not because I'm trying to take shots at the offense. I've been patently clear about it...I hate our offense and I find it boring. But I truly enjoy threads like this one started out and has, for the most part, maintained. I'm a baseball coach and I love talking about the intricate details of playing the game of baseball. I've never coached football but I absolutely love the X's and O's of the game and could sit all day and talk/read about why coaches do what they do because I think an educated fan is a good thing. That's why I read the stuff about Chip Kelly. There was also an incredibly good video interview with him, done this year while he's coaching the Eagles, where he breaks down 3 different plays and explains the QB reads on the play. It was during this interview that he first explained why they split all 4 WR's and how that is, to him, where the word "spread" offense came from. Since he's one of the coaches who is credited with making the spread an "in vogue" offense, I thought it was interesting what he was saying and immediately realized that Ga Tech's offense therefore doesn't fit his definition of spread on most plays. If I am able to find a link to that video later, I'll post it but a quick, cursory glance of Google yesterday didn't turn it up for me. [/QUOTE]
