I think it’s basically a power run heavy traditional offense with exotic blocking schemes and 2 TE sets. The TEs will be the focal point of the passing game, with a marquise brown the box can’t be stacked anymore for the run and tight ends cannot be doubled by safeties because marquise brown is a legitimate threat who will always demand a safety.I found it interesting when DeCosta talked about Brown being a fit. He said - "He fits with our offense" - but then corrected himself and said, "he fits with the kind of offense we want to become".
Those are really 2 different things. People look at the offense we ran at the end of the season and don't see how a guy like Brown fits. It remains to be seen how we can transform the offense with a new OC, but when you get weapons, it opens up possibilities.
And without a stacked box, brown should be used to work the middle, and the TEs then used deeper, the secondary will have to read consistently.
All of this of course is based on lamar becoming a better passer. And again this pass game should be used sparingly with the run being the main producer, but when the run is cashing them and we hit them with play action, we need to know whether the safety help is to stop brown, or if they’re keying on the TEs. I think that will be the key, knowing which threat the safeties are attacking, go elsewhere and exploit, and do it consistently, that will cover up a lot of Lamar’s deficiencies as a passer giving him easy and explosive plays.
