exaclty. a true spread has lineman splits way wider than usual. just becuause it's 4+ wide, doesn't necessarily equate to 'spread'. it's the route combinations as a whole in the 4+ wide that give the openings for wrs etc. And thus, a QB can recognize where those holes are going to be pre-snap.
or, at a minimum, he can eliminate a 1/4 or 1/2 of of the routes/field field based on what the defense is showing.
