I am confused

Help me out here:

I've seen a lot of articles that state that the reason why Clausen is the perfect fit in Carolina is because he practically ran the same offense with Weis at ND.

If I am not mistaken, didn't Weis run the West Coast Offense at ND and in NE?

So if that was the case and we are practically running the same offense as Weis, are we not running a hybrid version of the WCO?

we don't run any version of the west coast offense, so no. and bradford is rated above clausen purely based on madden politics

I never said we did run it, I knew we ran a power run game... I just don't get why the media is comparing our offense to Weis's offense when we don't run same offense

Not even close

Google "Erhart Perkins"

"pass to score, run to win"

i wouldnt mind accually thbrowing a few westcoast style plays in there every once in a while accually. i just think about the philly eagles back a few years ago, and how westbrook looked so good. i think that deangelo could do some of the pass catching, and yards after catch if he were given an oppertunity. also,, throwing stewart and armanti edwards in there could really be interesting.

whether or not we ever do anything like that, our offense will be pretty dyanamic in the next few seasons, granted we resign guys like kahlil and deangelo.

Thats exactly what they were working on in passing camp last week. 4 wide recievers deep and HB screens

Wies ran a pro style offense at ND same as they run at Carolina. Pound the run and then pass however the running game was never great there so sometimes they would spread it out. They threw a lot of deep balls down the sidelines Clausen will do great for you guys I am happy to see him go there!

A WCO is not synonomous with a 4 wideout receiver formation although most WCO use them. The WCO offense is more a philosophy of how to move the ball. WCOs use short timing passes in place of their running game. Backs are used as often to run short routes in the flats and over the middle as they are to actually run the ball. WCO teams run once they have a lead not to score points like we do.

Here is a decent article written by a Jaguar fan about the possibility of Jacksonville using the Philly style WCO offense. Some good information.

Weiss ran a pro-style offense that emphasized the ability to run multiple plays out of a few formations. In other words line up in the same formation 3 times in a row but run 3 different plays. The key is to mix things up and exploit mismatches in the defensive scheme once you get up to the line of scrimmage and see what the defense is doing. There are lots of audibles and multiple plays that can be run out of each look so it requires the quarterback to recognize defensives and adlib as they go. Running is a big part of the offense but so is passing vertically.

Here is a decent summary.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
