I got a question...
Q: Why doesn't Meyer adjust to formations with more blockers and fewer WRs; if he admits this is a running team this year, why keep running the shotgun spread?
A: The reason we don't bring in more blockers and power run is 1) Meyer's hubris 2) Demps and Rainey aren't power runners, so it is easier for them to run against defenses spread out against four wide 3) We don't have blockers - unless you mean backup lineman (and the OL is beatup). We have exactly one TE on the roster (and he is the key to the passing game) and one or two fullbacks who are young and have never played. Meyer recruited guys who fit the spread and now we just don't have the personal to switch up the offense. Why we couldn't have spent one scholarship on a blocking fullback goes back to # 1.
