Spread Offense

[DirtyMagic97]

...and you're back to what panthro stated, but you didn't get.

in the nfl, the third and fourth options are as good as tackle dummies for most nfl linebackers.

Relax, buddy. I'm just talking here. And yes, I got what Panthro said. Others are capable of understanding things as well.

You don't need a lot of talent in the 3rd and 4th receiver to get them open in a spread. It's all about routes, and what the other receivers are doing.

[Guest silver82blade]

what linebackers are you folks talking about who line up against 3rd, 4th, or 5th receivers? even professional linebackers are not fast enough to run down the field with a professional receiver, much less hang with them when they make cuts. when teams use 4 or 5 receiver sets, defenses go to dime and quarter packages using backup corners or safeties, whichever is the better option for that team.

Omgz larry fitzgerald iz a #4 wr....cover him i dare you

[Panthro]

Now that's not to say that a team shouldn't or won't utilize it ever. You have to have the players and coaches to make it work as well.

The point is the talent disparency that exists between Florida's/Oklahoma's #4WR vs Baylor/South Carolina's #4CB doesn't exist in the NFL like it does in College.

Because most teams don't draft for a spread. Teams in college recruit for a spread. They need their 3rd and 4th to be good. In the NFL, if you have more than one really good receiver, you don't go for another.

that's why a lot of college wide recievers who come into the nfl become average...or disappear off the face of the earth.

[Panthro]

Ok let's spread 'em out. Steve Smith you go over there...um, and get open. Moose you head over there and see if you can break coverage on that wet blanket. Dwayne Jarret you stay here then got that way but you'll need to get past the Rasberry Jam at the line of scrimmage. Do we have a 4th WR? I said a 4th WR....Hankton go back to the bench. I said a 4th WR. Oh fug is that Kenny Moore? Damn, Oh well

Barn Burners on set. on set.

[DirtyMagic97]

^ haha....it definitely wouldn't work with our talent.

It's impossible for you to be that thickheaded.

Yes

I guess it is, because I rarely see it.

Ok take Florida.

They can walk into kids houses across the nation and tell them they are going to Florida because they are florida. They can have this elite talent because they are Florida, and the talent is free.

For this to work in the NFL you would need WR's of the caliber Andre Johnson, Larry FitzGerald as your 2 starters, then AT LEAST a Breaston and Jerico Cotchery as 3 and 4 and that would be on the weak side. AND you have to pay these players, not just give them a fuging meal plan, a mixer with Chi Omega, and a scholarship.

Austin Collie, Pierre Garcon, Anthony Gonzalez...in addition to Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark...that's the situation I'm going for.
