Most of the linemen on that 2006 team had experience in a pro set type of offense, so it was probably more natural to that group than the zone blocking schemes that were just being introduced - just the opposite of our current group.
I think the fact that Brantley was so good coming out of high school, and a Gator legacy to boot, made it near impossible for Meyer not to recruit. I doubt very much that you'll see Meyer recruit QBs in the future that are pure passers only. I think all involved are sorry that they haven't been able to have a functional offense with Johnny at the helm. --- On Tue, 10/19/10, Shane Ford <goufgat...@bellsouth.net> wrote: I think it's a shame that we can't tailor our offense to play to the strengths of a passing QB. Oh, wait! We did that in 2005-2006, didn't we? Why are we unable to do it now? Why can't we dust off the playbooks from 2006 and run that offense? Ken, I have to agree with you on your thoughts for Brantley. It would be hard to think he's not at least giving it serious thought. The worst part is if I were the father of a passing QB son, I would NEVER let him play for Coach Meyer after how I've witnessed him nearly get Brantley killed trying to pretend like he's a QB that he's not - JMHO.
