He's talking about creativity, not production. I agree with him.
There are about a billion different ways to run inside zone, outside zone, power, etc. and we don't. We lack creativity.
No new wrinkles, motions, etc. Anything to give defenses different looks to get away from tendencies. More of that would be good.
I'm negative though.

all you needed to do was watch the bama game. Many times we came out on 1st down in heavy sets and threw out of them with success.
There is no need to overload your younger players (first year starting qb, two freshman OL, young wr's) with tons of change ups. If we execute what we do well and we win with it, why change it drastically. We added enough adjustments to beat bama. The defense just didn't finish the game. Early vs UF we had a lot of issues including MAJOR drops by the wr's and lots of OL shuffling.

production is all that matters. and i don't think that's what he's talking about at all. too many times, our play calling goes into super conservative mode; all GOOD teams do this but we do this so often defenses plan for it and we can't run the damn ball against 8 man fronts in those situations. it's like we need short yardage and we never do anything but run up the middle in that situation. WE HAVE TOO MANY TENDENCIES and they are highly predictable. Stanford and Notre Dame run the same offense with the same plays we do. there are other successful teams that do it too. we need to not always run the same damn play in certain situations. i'm not "creativity" is the right word because some of the yahoos on here will never be satisfied until we run oregons offense but we NEED TO EXAMINE OUR TENDENCIES this offseason if we want a trip back to the NC.

what is your experience evaluating variation or the addition or ommission of wrinkles in an offensive play? Bc if it's simply watching it from a novice eye, all the plays look the same. But I'm sure there's adjustments and variation the untrained eye can see, especially observing high levels of just about any discipline.

Now that's a guy who knows something about offense! Our fans are so use to the same 4 plays over and over they can't appreciate art. Watching Oregon play offense is art! I am glad we beat you but your team is fun to watch.

My criticism of the offense is this. But it has been this for quite a while.
1) We don't really utilize creative screens to back off the linebackers from stuffing the run and get defensive players out of the box.
2) Our passing game seems to rely on mostly long pass routes that take to long to develp.
3) We don't do enough to get the ball in the hands of guys with speed in space.
4) If your QB is not shown consistent proficiency throwing the deep ball practice it against non conference light weights and Monday - Friday but not on Saturday against SEC teams.
