So i am going to give my basic offensive philosophy.
Yesterday i made a thread about wanting some changes and offense was one of them. I had mentioned wanting a coach with more of an nfl background and one poster said i was just living a little fantasy so ill clarify my thoughts a bit.
My idea of a good offense is a team that controls the clock. They control the line of scrimmage. They have low turnover ratios. They can get A TOUCHDOWN FROM A YARD OUT. This is more of an nfl type offense. The problem with the offense we run now is having a qb like landry and offensive linemen like we do doesnt allow for the offense to run at an optimum. Sure any offense looks great with a younger murray, a heisman trophy winning qb, a few nfl linemen and the others very solid, and a handful of sure handed wrs that can get open. the fact of the matter is not every qb is sam bradford.
With an offense like say alabamas you dont need a great qb and you still can win games. (ppl plz dont talk about bama having 2 losses this yr too) with an offense like bamas you dont have to play great offense every game and your defense can keep you in the game. What i mean by this is they arent on the field the entire game like our offense allows. most of our drives are 3 minutes or less. rarely do we have a prolonged 8-9 minute drive that keeps the other offense off the field and allows our defense to rest. Its not a coincidence why teams that score a lot of pts almost ALWAYS give up a bunch of pts too.
Even if you look at the offense that we had under say paul thompson, it was allowed to function with a wr and we still got to the big 12 and eventually a bcs. landry isnt necessarily the problem, but what he is asked to do is the problem. there is no reason why he should be throwing the ball 60 times a game are you kidding me. if we had an offense that controlled the line of scrimmage we could utilize play action and find wrs that way instead of this oh lets throw nothing but screens this game thatll trick them.
if you need me to further explain or make my pt clear ask cause im sure 90 percent will bash me and say to look at the 08 yr but oh well
