Come and take it
I hate to argue with you, but I don't understand where the idea that Watson in rigid. He ran a conservative power running system at Colorado. West Coast at Nebraska, until he started a Freshman and installed the zone read for Martinez. Strong was running power spread and he changed it to a West Coast offense for Bridgewater. I font see that as rigid
I understand all that, and it could be that me calling him rigid based off last year (which is what I'm doing) is faulty; the offense last year had no offensive line, and a quarterback with no experience thrust into the starting role with Ash's injury.
But I cant get last year out of my mind, that is those plays where Swoopes was not allowed to run the zone read, at all. The few plays he ran it were in the OU game, then it was gone. Maybe they told him not to run fearing injury? Whatever it was, and with all the limitations they faced, I saw an offense last year that was entirely too unimaginative. And thus the rigid comment.
