I don't know if anyone outside the confines of that locker room and coaches office understand the impact that this new offense is going to have once it is able to perfect this version of the "hurry up." I think the defense got a small taste of what it can do in a game simulated environment. On that note, I am not as concerned with the performance of the D and much more bullish on improvement this year. Practicing and scrimmaging against this beast everyday will do wonders for their conditioning and overall depth and development of the roster. Due to the speed you cant help but get other guys reps and I think it shows with guys like Fort and Finley beginning to emerge. By the time our D gets to gameday on Sat it will seem like a walk in the park compared to what they are subjected to regularly M-F. Our offense will have so many more opportunities for plays due to the overall quickness of scheme that I think opposing teams will try and slow the game down when they have the ball, further helping our overall defense to dial in and gameplan and get the proper set, matchup and personnel into the game.
Spring offered a glimpse of the pace of the O but the overall execution and effectiveness of it was still being learned. It is a much more closer version of the finished product now and will only be refined further throughout the remaining days of camp. I would also expect it to evolve a great deal and only become more successful as the season goes along. There is a real reason why Biemla from Arkansas called for its ban this Spring. This will truly be a bitch to defend, if you've never seen it before especially at 7220 where it really becomes a huge home field advantage. Also, when you are talking about all of these WR's that are jumping out it will only further help us because its taxing as hell to run as well. Think basketball in pads because just about the time Rob, Dom, Trey, and Jalen need a blow, we don't miss a beat with some of these other WR's that are jumping out, or flash a whole different look with the big sets. And round about the time heads are down and tongues are out off goes BSmith around the right or left end out the gate for 6 from 60. We have good depth at RB with Wick, Miller, Oscar, Omar, Tapscott, etc, We will be facing some extremely fatigued defenses so talent size and speed becomes somewhat compromised when it has just shat its pants from fatigue. My only concern is upfront if we can develop some guys and have a steady rotation of about 7-8 guys that can spell each other. Otherwise, I am very excited to see this thing take flight in Lincoln and beyond.
