re: What type of "spread" do you want?

No need for a spread the only spread styles that have won have been Meyer Herman Mullen type spread teams who use the heavier sets and run the ball a lot. Those big 12 offenses won't cut it in this league. There's nothing wrong with a pro offense if you use the spread concepts that most pro offenses have. Look at New England New Orleans for example they're pro teams who use the shotgun very well. I keep saying charlie Weiss for this reason he'll run pro stuff and knows how to spread you out and use space too.
