Thread: Frankenstein offense

I think the success of our second half yesterday was that we found our offensive identity and we stuck with it. I call it a frankenstien offense because it looks a little like taking bits and pieces of other NFL offenses, and stitching it together to suite our strengths.

QB - Culpepper is kind of like "the Vick that can actually throw". He is comfortable throwing on the run, scrambling when there no one is open, and taking shots deep once in a while. This was what he did last season and this is what he did yesterday. He is leading the offense like he did last year.

RB - Moore is starting to emerge as a diluted version of Westrbrook or Tomlinson. He is a good runner with great vision, who can line up at WR. We did that yesterday and I almost wet myself. He will be our biggest red zone target this season. With time, he could develop in to one of the most versatile backs in the league.

WR - None of our recievers are Randy Moss. They are not super stars. But they are good solid bunch that give the word "Recieving Corps" proper meaning. Reminded me a lot of the Patriots offense running 4 and 5 reciever sets.

TE - Wiggins is almost like the less athletic Tony Gonzalez. We put him up TE, put him in the slot and he just caught everything we threw at him.

Now, if we could only have our secondary play like with what they look like on paper...

I think it started in the first half, we just put together some momentum in the 2nd.

Man, DC was just playing better today. I remember that in a few other games, he rolled out and threw and the ball sailed high one went for an INT. DC was on today, he had faith in the WR, WR running the routes the right way, who knows but things were different. We kept DC moving in the second half and there were less blitzes. I don't know if we dictated the lack of their blitzing or if it they just stopped think they were going to play to not give up the big play.

I wouldn't mind having this option. I think that the game plan definitely was helped by the fact that we did so many different looks instead of Moore only getting the ball from the same formation, handoff. I think we were so predictable. The D's we have played against knew it was coming.

I think this is awesome, get all WRs involved and they better not get a bad attitude about lack of balls being thrown their way. As long as we don't get EGOs we will be fine.

Wiggy knows how to find the open spots and he has great hands.
