[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 550282, member: 9033"] Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're saying that our QB was so bad that we had to go 3+ WRs so that we wouldn't face eight or nine guys in the box while other teams had solid enough QB play that they could trot out 2 wide receivers and the defense wouldn't dare put nine guys in the box. If that's the case, then my initial thought would be, let 'em crowd the box and trust that Nelson could win a one-on-one matchup for a jump ball. Tolzein's only real problem last year was turnovers and they weren't 50/50 jump ball turnovers. Tolzein tended to throw into coverage but, if I understand what you're saying, coverage wouldn't have been as complicated if they were crowding the box to stop the run game. Tolzein would have had simpler reads to make in a passing game with two WRs. Plus, the play action fake out of a 1/2/2 set would be much more believable. I'm really not trying to be obstinate. I'm actually trying to understand the coaches motivation. A few posts ago I mentioned that Bakhtiari graded out as a terrible run blocker which could be a key reason for spreading out the offense. So, for instance, is it possible that even in a two-TE set other teams would be confident enough in stopping our run game that they wouldn't stack the box? So we went spread sets as often as we did to do our best since other teams weren't going to respect the run game no matter what we did and therefore the only possible way to throw the ball was to go 3+ WRs?
