Too lazy to say "everything" ...
What I can tell from Hamden's philosophy this year is as follows:
- Strength of the team are the RBs
- Browning is going to make a handful of really bad decisions per game - minimize what he's asked to do
- WRs are largely average depending on what kind of growth Ty Jones would make
- TEs more good blockers than great receivers without Hunter Bryant
- Have a good defense that is going to minimize points allowed so don't give up short fields through mistakes
In the end, he's called games tied to the above. There's an emphasis on the run and taking things out of Jake's hands. Jake's shown to be pissed about this and the frustration there has hit the boiling point. Fuller has disappeared in both the Oregon and Cal games.
I don't think going spread this year would be the answer because it'd move more of the emphasis away from the team's strength.
Now looking forward to next year ... still will have some good RBs but will have a far more talented receiving group if for no other reason than everybody being a year older. I could see a little more spreading of the field next year with a QB that will likely be trusted to make throws throughout the field.
I tend to fall under the umbrella that we have some player issues this year that limit what we are able to do starting on the OL and extending to the QB position. We're behind last year's offensive numbers but not materially.
