re: We will feature a offense that will not be run oriented

I for one think people are missing the whole point of what an offense has to do to score points. People want us coming out in 4 or 5 receiver sets and throwing the ball on every play... it’s not about the plays you run, it’s about being capable of recognizing when you need to run a certain play and being able to execute that play in the heat of the moment. We actually threw a good bit last year, and for many years prior. The problem is that we had trouble recognizing where our hot routes were, where pressure was coming from, or where the holes were going to be, and when we did have the perfect play called, we had trouble executing those short to intermediate routes and creating separation.

There are a lot of things that go into quarterbacking, and there are a lot of things that other ppl on the team can do to help the QB. Just a few examples of what I mean are things like the center helping in calling out coverages (I haven’t seen that much at all) or the QB climbing the pocket instead of breaking out of it or pump-faking the ball to freeze a safety or backer for a split second to help a receiver gain separation.

The details of playing and executing the position is what separates the best teams from the rest. And that’s something we’ve been lacking on... and it shows when we play the bamas and Auburn’s and Florida’s .
