EH it was so so imop. He says a lot with out actually saying any thing. The fact he doesnt list half the rider alignments is pretty lame. He has 9 formation alignments where he doesnt list them. And only lists 3. He doesnt list the heavy 11 set either team uses. And he clearly isnt factoring in the amount of times the bombers come out in a single back set and motion to an empty back field. The bombers use motion in the formation a LOT. From wr sweep, to pinching guys into a TE slot or flexing backs out of the back field. The riders variety comes more directly.
The amount of times we pinch woli or adams into an 11 formation for runs is gigantic. If you factored motion in the splits would actually look very similar for 5-1 and 4-2/11 formations. We very seldom run any one from the fb positions. Its not even an Hback role, its a blocking te.
The bombers offense has diversified in scheme usage. Yankee concept using play action and timing routes at the vacated Lbers positions to guys like bailey and demski. Weve added dagger, a spread buck sweep, stick and more. The riders have done so by just adding packages and formations.
The real big difference in the bomber offense is that its unpredictable. You used to be able to anticipate the run calls with tremendous accuracy under plop. Now, not only will we pass or run in any situation, we PA a lot, and we will run the same play out of any formation. That works because we have multiple effective offensive schemes. Fast screens to wrs, sweeps, runs, timing in/outs to guys like lawler, etc. The riders in 19 had 1 major hot route and a running game. With the ability to buy time and chunk yards with CF legs. Teams have covered the timing slant differently, the riders dont have the OL to focus on the run (or the rb), and teams arent bum rushing CF and letting him spin to freedom.
