Yikes.............
Our there advantages to a 4 WR set? Sure. I'm a Mike Leach guy.
For this team is there any real advantage to a 4 WR set? NOOOOOO!!!!
This is a run and play-action based team because that's where the talent it. This OL And Zeke are the best weapons. Dak using his RPO ability to get 1st downs. His ability to limit turnovers by hitting open guys. This isn't the Saints or Pats offense.
4 WR sets means going to a Nickel or Dime. You don't have to play man in those sets you can play zone. You can blitz that extra DB off the edge to shut down the run. You give up ANY blocking for your QB except that 1 back. So Zeke then becomes a blocker only in the passing game.
That's just dumb football.
Put Dalton Shultz on the field and take the 4th WR off so Zeke can block then release or release right away.
If you only block 5 guys and the defense in anything pother than prevent mode doesn't make you pay that DC will be fired shortly thereafter.
sure defense can play zone with 6 dbs.
but 2 of those wrs are really fast.
they also have to defend the run up the middle.
they probably only get at most 6 in the box.
wasnt it a real problem for us running against 8 in a box.
granted, no fb, but that is still equivalent to 7 in a box.
there is also nothing to stop zeke from going in a pattern if db does not blitz.
but in a pass play, we would already have 4 wrs going into pattern, and 2 of those have 4.3 speed.
