Some people are so archaic and have no clue what the spread offense is really about.
There's no reason Miami shouldn't be primarily a spread team. There's a plethora on benefits to it. When you have speed across the board like we do the spread offense is a nightmare.
When we run 21, 22, and 12 personnel all we do is invite more defenders in the box. And since we have a shaky o-line, no real threat at TE and an unimaginative OC we have no way to exploit the packed box.
When you run spread you force the defense out of the box. Now instead of a subpar TE you have Stacy Coley or Herb Waters in the slot matched up against a LB, Safety or a Nickel. (which is the defense's 3rd string CB)
No. We'd rather use multiple TE's and have explosive WR's (that most programs would kill to have) sitting on the bench.
I'll repeat what I said before the season: outside of goal line, we should never be in anything less than a 3WR formation. It makes sense for all involved.
