The Pats, Steelers, Chiefs and Dolphins all used the spread as their primary formation for at least the 2nd half of the last year. It worked pretty well for everyone but us. We have a crap o-line. Maybe it was the spread maybe it was out line maybe it was our constant red zone DROPS. Can you tell me unequivocally you know which it was that made us fail and the others succeed?
