I was expecting far more ingorant responses than I have gotten.

Because most people understand that using the spread, or a variation of it - at TIMES, can work with the right players.

However, using the spread, or a variation of it as your base offense - and not being able to run anything else, is begging for failure.

The spread will be used by this team at times. It's not going to be an every down thing though, like it was last year with Thigpen post-Atlanta

The spread can allow teams with poor offensive lines to move the ball between the 20s, as the Chiefs clearly demonstrated last year. However, in the red zone, it's tough to score with a poor offensive line no matter what the offensive formation. The Chiefs sucked in the red zone last year because of a poor offensive line, not because of the spread.
