Longo is a Mike Leach disciple but there's a fundamental thing about his offense that bears discussing:
Longo's offense puts an emphasis on simplifying the QB position by moving some responsibility to other spots - namely WIDE RECEIVER.
All WR's in Longo's offense are required to learn every coverage. They rely on pre-snap reads to determine the best available routes and run A LOT of option routes depending on defensive alignments and coverage.
After reading up on the subject, I am firmly convinced that Dyami Brown will be the latest 2nd round Longo-coached prospect that will exceed his draft day status.

Interesting! I did not know that. It makes me like Dyami even more.
