Look at what they did against a near-NFL defense in Stanford. That talent gap, particularly the speed gap, just isn't going to exist in the NFL. |

The thing with his innovation is, things in the NFL get figured out pretty quick. It's why the wildcat flamed, etc.
It will eventually get figured out, he's just gonna have to always stay a step ahead. Which seemed, IMO, to be a problem for him at Oregon in that whenever his teams were physically handled, they struggled. |

Worst case scenario is the experiment doesn't work, they've sold out to build for the spread, and have to completely gut the thing so that it resembles an NFL team again. They're taking a HUGE risk. |

FWIW, Petersen is a bad fit for Oregon. His offense is a very complex pro-style system with Pistol and Wildcat elements, heavily predicated on varied formations and pre-snap shifts. It's not really similar to Chip's system.

Kelly is an extremely intriguing hire and I do like the Browns taking a chance. But I'm not sure it's a smart chance.

The Pats use some spread concepts, but they are far from a complete spread team. |

The league is moving to a more spread-oriented approach and teams are incorporating a ton of no-huddle, because it keeps defenses from switching personnel. Kelly's system can absolutely work. The question is if he will tweak the spread to fit the NFL.
Keep in mind that Kelly took somebody else's spread and came up with his own innovative twists, just like Monte Kiffin took the Tampa 2 and adapted it to fit the changing NFL. Interviews I've heard with Kelly indicate that he knows it could be a trendy defense and you have to adapt the scheme to the situation. From what I've heard, the guy is incredibly bright and learns very quickly, not like a copycat spread guy. The offensive coordinator hire is going to be a big one. If he hires someone with NFL experience, that would help immensely in adapting his game. It's a risky hire, but I happen to think he's a smart guy who's going to find a really creative way to make his scheme fit the NFL. |

the Pats system is not fully spread
The Chiefs tried for 4 years to use a similar system with the same audibles and checks and failed miserably. Most notably giving the QB the freedom to audible into a QB sneak or whatever they need to check down to in short yardage situations. Tom Brady does not fail at that, our team did. Same concept though lol |
