![]() Well, I'll throw myself under the bus, and say this. Cover2 makes a very valid point with his belief that we may go back to just chunking, not using the TE's etc. with a drop back (Dylan) QB. He's, I assume, basing that on what we've seen in the past. Hardcore evidence. I'm thinking we'll use the backs, TE's, etc based on nothing but hope. When one guy has hardcore evidence & another guy has nothing but hope, the guy with the evidence will be right more than vice-versa.
I still believe we'll try to control the ball but I can't support that position with much of anything other than I trust the coaches. He's got more bullets in his gun than I do right now. |

This. Occasionally/Situationally, Spurrier will go run heavy, but he still has a tendency to go pass heavy more often than not. The statement that Spurrier prefers to call a bunch of runs and grind it out now seems ridiculous to me. We were grinding because Shaw was running for first downs on called pass plays half the time. Look at the plays he called. And it's comical at this point that people are still expecting the TEs to be featured... Could happen but not likely... Do people even watch the games? |

![]() I don't know who covertwo was responding to with that quote. One poster said the fun & gun days were over & I agreed. I won't try to speak for another poster but my comments had little to nothing to do with the number of throws. I was strictly basing my comments on the notion of chunking the ball 20 - 25 yards repeatedly like we used to do. Got no problem even with the notion of throwing more than running, just like the safer, quicker, shorter dinks & dunks mixed in with the down field stuff.

My biggest problem with the old stuff was every pass pattern seemed like it took two days to develop. Many times every receiver was 18 yards or more down the field with very few options underneath. Worked great a long time ago. |

If we go totally away from the short stuff Dylan will get sacked a bunch, throw a boatload of INT's, Spurrier will throw his papers & visor & put Mitch in. That's how I see it. |

![]() Dylan is going to be fine this year. He is mobile enough to escape pressure and throw the ball away. I don't see him throwing many INTs. Being a 5th year guy and knowing the offense as well as he "should", I really think he is going to put up huge numbers. He'll have to for us to win games if the young DB don't come out blazing.

![]() I think we will run a ton of hurry up offense with DT this year, Cooper at WR gives them the ability to catch a team in the wrong defense and run the Wild Cock...

![]() I expect Dylan to check down far more than he ever has before. I think this is a recipe for success. We can stay ahead of the chains and his completion percentage will be greatly improved and he can then take his shots down the field when we are not in 2nd/3rd and long.

![]() What I want to happen is to have a balanced offense that is similar to what Oklahoma does.
What history has shown us to date when Dylan is in at QB is heavy pass. A lot of intermediate routes. 2nd half of UCF being an anomaly. There has been nothing shown that leads me to believe that Spurrier is going to keep the same mixture of run/pass that he did with Shaw. Again, I think it's false hope to expect that.. Just like saying this is the year where out tight ends are used heavily.

This a hundred times. Also, those thinking he'd throw Mitch in are getting ahead of themselves. Mitch is a pro-style QB, just like Thompson. If Spurrier was looking for another Shaw (dual-threat), Brendan Nosovitch would be the backup. |

I know this much...I do not want us to revert back to an offense that kept us in the middle of the SEC-E. The zone plays and blocking have been game changers for our offense...it ain't broke. |

![]() I don't think there is much wrong with trying to do what Petrino did at Arkansas. I'd argue that talent wise, the offensive line we have right now is better than any of the ones Petrino had in Fayetteville. I also think that Dylan Thompson has the ability to be every bit as good as Tyler Wilson was. In fact I think our entire offensive personnel might be better than what he had at Arkansas .. Wide Receiver may be a push.
I think the one big difference between what Petrino did and what Spurrier wants to do is that Spurrier's run game is finesse, Petrino's was power.

![]() 90% of Statistics are made up on the fly, 70% of the time...
With the O-Line being one of the best in the Nation, Dylan should be just fine. He should have enough time & protection (78% of the time) to go through his progression and find what I hope to be a Receiving core that's 55% better than they were last year. Plus, Mike Davis is 100% BEAST. GO COCKS!

What could be argued his best years at Florida: In 2001: Grossman - 395 pass attempts Graham/Gillespie/Cothron - 255 rush attempts combined In 1995: Wuerffel/Kresser - 437 pass attempts combined Jackson/Williams/Taylor - 284 rush attempts combined I rummaged through the other years at Florida and the ratio came out about the same. Whats interesting though is at Florida, most years he had 2 backs with about equal number of carries.
