Have watched a ton of Lashlee's stuff over the past month. The hope was just to get a sense of what he'd bring in a Year 1 situation. He's been involved in very different types of spread approaches, so it's not as straightforward as "he's an Air Raid guy."
Specifically, a recent thread made me remember to post some of my notes on what we'd see from the RBs:

Something we saw only in one-off situations last year from our offense were interesting calls in the red zone. In the clip above, Lashlee utilizes his RBs ability in space. He goes trips left to the field side. He spreads the field, sends the WR lined up to the boundary side across the field and basically creates a matchup to the boundary sideline where he slips out the OT to play what was supposed to be 3 on 3 football with their defenders. That sounds simple enough, but it's the type of matchup I'm incredibly excited to see Jaylen Knighton in. King, Jarrid Williams (who I project at RT if they play Scaife inside) and Knighton vs any three defenders is a solid matchup.

Watch the "H-Back" lined up in the backfield come across the formation and wall off defenders to setup a cutback by the RB. This is the type of play Cam Harris should excel in. Press the hole, cut it back, slash into the secondary. Lashlee's SMU offense pulled all sorts of interesting blockers. Sometimes a TE and a G. Sometimes across the formation and run a counter. Sometimes play side. When you combine that with a mobile QB, that's a **** mission for LBs and Safeties to stay disciplined on. It opens things up for slashes from a RB with Cam's style.

An interesting little pitch out after a fake to the FB out of the I-Formation (something I don't think we'll see a lot with King) creates a matchup on the edge. But, the point is I think Don Chaney's evolving physique and style are well-suited for these types of matchups. He can spell Harris and Knighton with these unique plays (maybe more, if given the chance) and offer us flashes during his true Frosh campaign.
Lots more from Lashlee, so please feel free to use this thread to post cool things he does to get his RBs matchups inside and on the edges.
