Title: Spread offenses are hurting college players
Post by: rollntider on May 14, 2015, 01:05:05 AM
Quote"Unfortunately, I think we're doing a huge disservice to offensive football players — other than a receiver — that come out of these spread systems," Cable continued. "The runners aren't as good. They aren't taught how to run. The blockers aren't as good. The quarterbacks aren't as good. They don't know how to read coverage and throw progressions. They have no idea."

Quote"I'm not wanting to offend anybody, but college football, offensively, has just gotten to be really, really bad fundamentally," Cable said. "You look at it and say, 'Well I can go get a guy who runs a little faster, maybe jumps a little higher, that's got an aggressive streak in him. At least I can see that on defense and just start with him. I'm going to have to retrain an offensive lineman that's coming out of college right now anyway."

There's some truth to that, but it also points to the lack of patience Seattle or other upper tier teams have.  A bad team can take a year or two to work with a lineman
