[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 989926, member: 17953"] Longo's offense thrives on TEs in both the blocking and receiving roles. People make the mistake of believing it's an all out "throw the ball deep" offense that lives or dies on the pass. Nothing could be further from the truth. The way Longo will bring it is in a combination of RPO packages that will depend on what the QB sees across the line of scrimmage from him just before the snap. There could be several options which he can choose, based on what happens when they put someone in motion, or as the defense is adjusting. What we will no longer see is 8-men in the box to stop the Badgers from running. That would be pure defensive suicide. The Badgers will have at least a 4th optional receiver on the field, and not enough coverage left for all of them. With the more mobile QBs, and the larger number of solid receivers, the passing game will reach new heights. If the defense does drop back, into a more pass protection mode, we're going to see our RBs rip off chunks of yardage, and we could see two solid 1,000 yard RBs in the same year. On defense? I expect to see a similar consistency to what we saw with Jim Leonhard. The biggest difference will be that there should be less pressure on them to hold the opposition totally in check, because our offense will be much more productive. But, the defense itself might, or might not change too much, depending on what Tressel sees as the level of talent he has available. From a quick look, on paper, the resume of who he has looks fairly good, but there are still questions that need to be answered. I'm anxious to hear, and see, information from spring practice. It could turn the excitement volume about the future up a heckuva lot! [/QUOTE]
