1) does anyone have any good insight whether this is true or not? (Hoping it is).
2) high octane offense is nice but kf has built his staple on ball control and defense. Even in the pros the teams with high octane offenses tend to have struggling defenses because they are on the field so much. Then you have to play risk/reward defense and try to turn the ball over more.
3) maybe we could find some happy medium to have better ball control and still put up more points. Because our defense and ball control offense have been on the decline. I don't think you have to go spread. Pro-style offense can still put up points if run correctly.
4) take what we do and put some twists into it. Instead of I formation with twins on one side, maybe stack the receivers to get an easier release. Tweaks of this nature could help. Use bunch formations that allow for receivers to get open quicker. These can be used in pro-style offenses.
5) do we need a dual threat qb? No but that doesn't mean we can't get one. I find it funny that everyone wants to jump on the new in thing all the time until there is a new new thing. The pistol offense took people by storm the spread option...and so on. Everything is a new version of an old thing. Instead of copying we should look to young hungry guys that want to reinvent what we are good at. That is what the great coaches do they reinvent they don't copy. Look at the redskins with rg3. He is a pro-style qb that can run so the build around that and roll him and use pistol formations to get him into better situations with his feet. But their schemes are still zone blocking under a pro-style system.
