Well, it's about what I expected. There was a lot on inside vs outside zone talked about and when I watched shanny I didn't as much see that as I saw classic stretch zone at the bubble(the gap along the defensive line). When he was in atl they ran a lot of 3 wr sets so it created wider alignments for d-limeman and they also would unbalance TE's. With us, we use balanced sets more and a FB, so the bubble isn't as outside as it was for atl last year. I'm seeing the same run game, just those runs are dictated by favorable matchups.
Thank you. I've been lurking in these all-22 threads for like three or four years, and just decided to get in and actually use the site. You guys are great, btw. I legitimately look forward to these threads every week of the season. People would probably pay you two to do this stuff, if you ever wanted to be a part of the high flying, low paid, always scared to make the rent world of sports journalism.
As to what you are saying. I guess this is just going to be one of the things that's going to be an unknown. Kyle is good at scheming around his talent. But while everyone kind of assumes that the thing he's trying to replicate is what he had in Atlanta, given how successful that offense was, maybe that's not what he wants. This is his first shot where he has actual control over the roster. It will be interesting to see what kind of talent he decides to roll with over the years, and how that all effects the scheme.
