That would be a problem because we run a two gap scheme. Our DTs need to be agile enough to handle more than just one space. This is something most of the super size me victims can't handle.

Here is something that a lot of people aren't understanding. The spread is changing the game of football. Just like the West coast offense before that, the triple option, wish bone, wing-T and so on. Defense's are going to have to counter to that change of offense, by getting more athletic at every position because offense's are getting more athletic at every position. Slowly the NFL will start to become more spread oriented, as athletes come up from college that stress defenses this way. As I see it, Oregon is just ahead of the game.

I mean Vick was the first person to run the option (only for a couple of games but still) for like 40 years or something in the NFL and now Tebow and Cam do it all the time. The thing is that the spread would work in the pros but no one is willing to risk their ass on the line to experiment and work out the kinks in it. Fox pretty much had to with what he had working with and Rivera is in a low risk high reward situation to do it. I really hope that if Chip ever moves on from UO it's to bring the spread option to the NFL.

That's a weird fact J, I could have sworn Cunningham and Elway ran 1-2 options.
