bullshite. Like the guy above said- the spread was invented to run the ball.

But it's more than just creating space by spreading people out. Yes it includes that, but there's other things that make it work.

First and foremost, your QB has to identify where the space is... or more accurately where it will be post-snap, and decide to take advantage of it through the air or on the ground.

Secondly, your QB also has to make reads effectively in-play. Such as a QB reading a DE and deciding whether or not to pull it from the basket and pass, or let the RB have it and run it.

In 2019 CEH got better as the year went on mainly because the reads by Burrow (and Brady/CSE) got better. Those reads got better as Burrow became more and more an expert at Brady's offense.

Last year and so far this year we're seeing what happens when your QB is just a QB and not an on-the-field Co-OC and how it lessens the benefits of a spread offense.

There are plenty of offenses where all the adjustments are made in the booth and in the sideline.

Our running game is just boring and our OL sucks. Until last we ran Inside zone every play for 2 years. And it worked with a better OL and a good RB who could bounce plays outside if he needed to.

Now our OL
Sucks. We get no push and TDP isn’t a guy who will bust a zone read outside if he has to.

Max hasn't even had the opportunity to do this. I've seen almost zero rpo.

I've seen zero of him raising up and throwing a bubble if a cb is playing off.
I put that on peetz. These are Easy yards.

Max has played like shite but the oc is not helping him out.

If they can't get easy yards against mcneese... holy shite.
