How much will the offense change?
August 26, 2008 9:28 AM
We've been a run first, pass second oriented offense. I've been expecting a lot more emphasis on the pass this year, but that may not be the case.
It seems to me that with Mendenhall gone we need to open up the running game more with a few more play-action passes, but it looks like Locksley doesn't see any major changes to the offense. I've heard Zook say in the past that he learned in the pros to stick with the running game even if it is not productive early, and that may be the plan. However, I hope we are not too conservative with Juice. I like his passes in the 15-25 yard range and that creates a lot of second guessing for the secondary regarding the run.
