Our new "spread-bone" offense
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2005 3:41 pmWell I never thought this was going to be our new offense. With two backs and a running dominated spread offense I guess you can call it the spread-bone.

End of scouting report. Why oh why did he come in when we got the ball on the 20. Romo in that situation gives so many more options.

Might get scrapped like Hayden Fry's "Flyin Wishbone".

However all those offenses have something in common: Your line needs to block the defensive players coming after you. If you can't give your QB protection or create holes, you won't win. Football is a very simple game. Its won and lost in the trenches, right BUS.
