Running on a seven man front is no problem. Eight And nine in the box is what we will be dealing with. Our Qbs have to make the throws and when pressure comes get rid of it. I saw to many TFLs and Sacks. Biggest concern is O line, Qb and defensive depth. If we can get consistant blocking Wick and May will take care of the rest. If Kirk is our guy then so be it, I dont see anyone else starting at Qb unless the Florida Qb is another Brett Smith or ACS.
What was the time from snap to sack in general? Most pro-style offenses in college need 3-4 seconds minimum (2-3 for pros).
Because of the steep learning curve for the o-line and qbs, I would imagine that we can gain about 1/2 to 1 second of pass protection and getting a throw out just by getting those guys familiar with the offense and blocking schemes.
Still, the pro-style O requires a QB that can make several reads and then make the throw all in 3-4 seconds. I think that is why a lot of colleges have found more success with the spread. 1 read and go.
It will be interesting to follow, and I am definitely concerned as well. However, on the plus side, we should still see substantial progress just from the players becoming more familiar with the offense. In other words, I don't think ability is limiting at this point.
