'Playmakers' beginning to surface

    Got that right man. I've liked what Oklahoma State did the past few seasons when they had these physically big receivers like Dez Bryant and Justin Blackmon. When you have guys like that in your stable then you whole offense opens up. I'm a fan of those types of receivers

    Great example! The kid is 6-4 what like 210 or so?

    There is no DB in the B10 that can hang with that size, if he plays it up!

  • Guess Michael Thomas is the man at WR!!!! Dude was awesome today!!

  • Thomas was awesome today. I had a good feeling about this kid. He was a big time recruit two years ago.
    I just want the damn equipment staff to get him a helmet that doesn't turn sideways. Don't want him hurt.

    Great stuff guys, thanks.

    Even though it's a spread offense, it's sounds like its goi g to be heavily dependent on the rbs. Lots of option and zone reads with brax and the backs.

    I was really hoping a wr would emerge this spring. But then again, they just one to come up by 2013 :)

    That is the problem with what most people see when they hear the words spread offense. It is no longer an offense, its a formation. Most people see it as a QB that either passes or runs himself. True spread is that way. But spread formation offenses are a spread formation with rb's and able to do anything. West coast offense style. Its really hard to even call it a spread offense, because its not based around only the QB.

  • Smith, Brown and Thomas are going to make a difference this year, throw in Stoney at the TE and perhaps the recievers won't be a weakness this season after all.

  • Been busy at work and travel, but wanted to thank you guys for all the great info and links.

    Can't wait to watch the Bucs this fall and really enjoyed seeing Miller in an up tempo offense.

    I have always said he would do well in a more up tempo offense, just like in HS.

    Go Bucs!

    Urban Meyer's offenses run best when they are based off the QB. The kid at bowling Green, Alex Smith, Tim Tebow.

    A spread is a spread, you rely on the QB for it to be effective.

    Spread is a spread..... not so! there are tons of different kinds and the spread allows the QB to read what the defense is in and some teams specialize in running out of the spread,some passing down field,some to the TE, some to the backs some running QB's.

    you rely on the QB to be effective in any offense!

  • No doubt Thomas is going to get appreciable PT this year and will be an excellent possession receiver for us. However until he demonstrates he can take to the house after the catch he must wait to be annointed a "Game Changer".

    Disagree. The purpose of the spread is to create mismatches In space. It is more effective in college due to talent discrepancies.

    Urbans version relies heavily on the QB.
