Questions about the WCO, our strategy and your thoughts

[Skinny Tee]

You're talking about great points. I'd like to see us scheme around our talent but it seems like we're not doing that.

Since we have a new coach and thus a new scheme I'd like to see implement personnel appropriate for this new system. Give Zorn a QB that is compatible with this offense.

I was a Campbell fan when Gibbs was here but now that our offensive dynamic is different I'd like to see a change. Unfortunately I think that we have to stick with Campbell because of how vested we are in him.

Well, the Eagles run a WCO and they were throwing way downfield today. They looked impressive for a team that everyone says "has no wideouts".

I think I counted two times when Campbell threw it over 25 yards. Now, whether that's on Campbell for not trying anything deep, or if it's Zorn who's not calling plays that go deep, I don't know.

If the WCO offense is nothing but short passes, (and I don't think it is) we appear to have that part of the offense down pat.

For what it's worth, Doc Walker on his radio show this week, said that the WCO is the most overrated sham in the NFL. Only one team has ever run it in its purest sense and that was the 49ers under Bill Walsh -- I've also heard that from Randy Cross, a former 49er who played for Bill Walsh.
