I am going to move this to the third page in case someone wanted to download the PDF on the West Coast offense.

Thats about 3 times as much as I would have thought.

Meh. Looks like a smooth "transition" all around.

Probably a lot better. Fewer carries to waste and depending how the D plays us, the big 10+ yard runs could even return.

I would rather sign a WR out of free agency. With the rare exception WR's take a few years to develop... by then who knows what we'll be running on offense

You know who else had his best year in a West Coast offense...Brandon Lloyd

If there was a way to restructure a contract so a player could pay the team to play, then I'm all for inviting him to training camp.

In high school?

Seriously Smooty, hook me up with some of those sources.

Well, the WCO under San Fran right?

I'm sure at some point in time there will be a presser to formally introduce Jim Zorn, and hopefully at that time he will enlighten us to some extent, as to just what type offense he intends to implement. We all seem to be under the asumption it going to be the WCO as we know it.

I want to believe that he's going to implement a system that best fits the talents of Jason Campbell. I also want to think that this is something that was discussed during the interview sessions. I remember watching Zorn play, and he could be a mad bomber at times, so it could be that the offense he chooses to introduce may not be limited to the conventional version of the WCO.

But I don't think that's the biggest issue really. I think where we need to be concerned is at the WR position. Our top two guys-Moss and El-seem ill prepared to be elite receivers in the WCO. Granted, they're tough and quick and have shown they can go over the middle? But on a regular basis?

I love Moss and would hate to see him go, but will he be wasted here in DC now? Will Anthony Mix suddenly become indespensible? Does Malcolm Kelly become a draft priority? Will Robin escape the clutches of The Penguin? Can Batman Save Gotham? Tune in tomorrow....

Seriously though, vote

It's def the WR's. I just don't think Moss and Randle El are top NFL wr's and we need to upgrade at that position. Look how Plaxico B. just dominated the Green Bay corners last week. We just don't have anyone that can take over a game like that. I remember the WCO at it's best when Montana ran it and he had Rice and Taylor at WR. Lots of quick reads, quick slants, misdirection bootlegs and waggles. They ran the pure version of it and it was fun to watch. But if McNabb can run it then so can JC. But it's going to take time and we are going to have growing pains.

Anyways I think it will be the receivers who struggle the most

If this is supposed to be a link to something, please explain!!

QB by far. then WRs. if this is round peg in square hole time, it's going to be a BAD season... hopefully the issues magically work themselves out and the offense is better than last year.

still quite possible for all this change to lead us to 6-10 though :/ we'll know better by pre-season if it's meshing or not.
