[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 378789, member: 77"] Why don't we have multiple formations? Well, actually, we do. We have variations of our base formation, quite a few of them. Why don't we vary even more than that? Now that's a good question, but one with a very simple answer: time. We don't have time to practice more stuff and be good at all of it. Actually, we don't have enough time to practice the stuff we already run and be good at all of it. Don't forget, we also vary our blocking assignments, too. There's plenty of variation in our offense as is. There's a lot to digest, understand and master. [I]Master[/I] is the key word and we haven't. We have to run it faster than the defense can react to it and we must be perfect in our execution. The better/more athletic the defense, the more perfect and faster we have to be to have success with it. But it can be done, we've proven that in the past. The problem in '17 was we weren't perfect or fast enough to beat the defenses on our schedule. It wasn't just qb, either. Just about every position on our offense needs to improve. Some of the improvements are tiny but have a big effect. Timing and spacing are small corrections that could yield huge gains. Those things come with repetition and familiarity among teammates. We don't need to be more multiple. We need to be better at what we already do (or try to do). [/QUOTE]
