The NFL is a copycat league and teams are going to look at the no-huddle stuff New England borrowed from Oregon and the pistol stuff Washington put in and copy that.

I don't think there are that many teams in the league who can run Washington's offense because they don't have mobile QBs. No-huddle and spread components have been around for years, but going full spread generally has not been successful in the NFL (see Steve Spurrier). Green Bay probably comes the closest to running it and having success with it.

Seems to me you're putting the cart before the horse.

I hope our fans are ready for the Tampa 2.

So we spent $50 million on one corner and a top 10 draft pick on another corner to play Tampa 2?


I was under the impression that we needed man to man corners to play aggressive bump and run on the outside. Now if we are going to play a Tampa 2 shell defense, we really screwed the pooch putting this much resources into corners.

Half the league either runs a variation of the spread or has a mobile QB (and that number will increase with the success of RG3/Wilson/Kaepernick).

The NFL is worlds different than it was when Kiffin left it.

He's over 300 lbs. He's not an edge rusher and never will be one.

If we're lucky he will be a serviceable or slightly above average DT IMO. But you're nuts if you think you are moving him outside in a 4-3.

Why not?

Church is probaly Lynch, Sims is Brooks and Ratliff is Sapp in this scheme.

Piece of Cake.
