I've been confused on this for awhile. I keep hearing dump-offs and short routes associated with this offense but I'm still unsure of its aspects. What is the WCO is and how does it work? What are its benefits, drawbacks, and what kind of personnel do you need to run it? And would anyone want to see it run here?

Well Im not an expert on what it is but I can give you some points to it. There are some WCO that are very Pass oriented and thats where you get the short dump off passes and short crossing routes. Then you have a run heavy style like was used in Denver. Most passes are not vertical but slants and crossing routes. It was invented to counter the zone blitz that Pittsburgh was using. Im sure there's more but that's as much as I know.

I think it's the other way around actually... the zone blitz was a counter to the WCO. Dropping linemen into zones that would otherwise be vacant.

I like the WCO. We would actually do very well in a fairly modern, run balanced WCO.

May be... I will have to google that LOL.

ahhhh it was to counter the run-and-shoot offense.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
