[quote=Stuck in TX;447605]The offense that is being installed is pretty much what JC ran at Auburn. He isnt really learning a new offense, just adding to what he already knew. As far as mini camp goes, Zorn gave his offense an abbreviated version. They only had a few plays to run and practice. They werent really there to master the offense, but to be evaluated by the coaches based on skill and fundemental awareness. Not only that, but the defense has been pretty much the same with Blache from the previous years, so I do not think the offense was bad, just that the defense was really, really good.[/quote

The bottom line is these guys are learning Zorn's version of the offense and it's new to everybody. All the players are studying and learning and starting over. Some of them said they feel like rookies. There are going to be growing pains. My point is was it worth changing everything around again? Especially in the toughest division in football. I guess time will tell. But it's only May. We've got all summer to work things out.
