[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 522256, member: 3774"] The fact that you say the 3O is dead and then cite players as being responsible for the good days is confusing at best. I think the player personnel is and was the issue. TM is a baller who was playing out of position. The 3O has to have a 3O QB to work. That QB looks a lot like Nesbit or Tracey Ham. An option QB has to trust his eyes and pitch the ball when the pitch is there. TM is a player who takes the bull by the horns, he saw lanes and felt he could hold the ball and hit the lane, other times his physical gifts made him think to juke first when a true 3O QBs job is to pull the defensive player inside, exposing the pitch lane. I’m not slamming TM, he was an athlete called on to play out of position, his natural talents didn’t lend to him getting rid of the ball. It caused hesitation in decision making and impediments to fluidity in the play. I’m good with any offense TECH runs but guess what, I’d say the same thing about Nesbit running a spread, it’s just the wrong player for that particular style. I am firmly convinced that the 3O with UGAs or BAMAs players would never be stopped and with those two defenses nobody would ever look at them and say the 3O is dead. Now this is where CPJ failed himself, had he actually emphasized defense his offense wouldn’t be looked at as it was. At worse the games in which it was stopped would have been 10-3 type games and the entire story on CPJs career would have been changed, as would TECHs. [/QUOTE]
