re: Denbrock running game: Inside Zone, Split Zone, and wrinkles

Exactly and I think we will use Boutte in the backfield as an H-back to run some of this. Not just Boutte but different WRs, RBs and TEs. We also have a walk-on who is supposed to be extremely quick and could run this through him as well. Supposedly this same guy is a really good punt returner and we could see him with the ball in his hands this year. Runs like a 4.3, is tough and catches the ball well. We have several walk-ons who aren’t your typical walk-ons.

I like how Denbrock moves guys around in the backfield and at WR. It’s a multiple offense and is designed to create confusion and mismatches. So we could see a TE and a RB in the back field or see a WR back there with the TE on the edge and a RB in the slot. He doesn’t just leave the players at their typical spots. We did this a lot in 2019 as well but mainly in the passing game, which was our bread and butter.

This year it’ll be much more mixed at least until they start to trust a QB and the offense in the passing game. I think it’ll start out as a mostly run oriented team and gradually mix in more pass as the season progresses, if the QB progresses with the offense of course. It’ll be fun to watch again, can’t wait.
