With all the Jay Gruden hype, and subsequent lack of content on Mr. Gruden via the internet, I thought it'd be fun to do some fan analysis of our new offense ("Mid-West Coast Offense"). Here's what we know: Brat is gone FOREVER (thank you Lord), Jay Gruden is our new OC, QB in 2011-?, Feature RB in 2011-?, WR's in 2011- sorta ?, TE's Gresham,Coffman, & Kelly-?....so for the purpose of this post, let's assume we'll have Carson and Benson on the roster next year, and WR's as Chad,Simpson,Bubba,Shipley, and TE's as Gresham,Chase, and we'll bring Reggie back for the sake of conversation/debate.
Next, let's get a discussion going centered around what M-WCO formations we can EXPECT, what formations we WANT, and what personnel packages would accompany these formations of the future....This is where we can get into the nitty gritty of which players' skill sets will/can be used most effectively and out of what formations.
Please try to limit the "anything other than what Brat did" comments- you can use those old formations, but keep in mind Gruden's WCO roots,AFL background, UFL experiences, NFL (Tampa) roots and everything he's said to Cincy Media since his hire.
