"As of the first day of practice, we're moving very fast," said Flowers, whose 4,330 total yards last season included 1,530 on the ground. "But I see I could do a lot of things in this offense, a lot of passing. You might not see me run like that a lot, but at the end of the day it's what's best for the team."

This is very concerning.  I knew this might happen.  Taking away one of QF's greatest attribute.  His legs.

We need to see him scrambling around making things happen on the move, not trying to make him a pocket passer.  Don't try to jam a square peg into a round hole.  He needs to get 10-15 carries both designed runs and taking off under pressure.  I hope they don't take that away too much.  He did rush for over 1,500 yards.  When Quinton is improvising, good things happen. I hope Gilbert is smart enough to see that.  

 

I don't think he's taking away the runs, I just think it might be less designed QB runs.  I guarantee you that if Q doesn't see any open receivers, he'll take off like he always has.

Point of order, BJ wanted to be more of a pocket passer.

Is it really a bad thing that our offense will have more than the same 10 plays?

Personally, I was perfectly content with those same 10 plays last year considering the results ...

One can make a case that QF did run too much last year, at least on design plays. Funny I do not see anywhere in his quote that he was not going to run when receivers are covered...and that is where he did his most damage.

Saying that Q won't use his legs may be the same ruse used as his alleged "hamstring injury" before the Navy game.

Forget about the Offense for a moment. I for one was delighted to see "Tackling Drills!"

Can you say "DEFENSE!" :GoBulls:

Yep, much as I want to know we haven't broken a great offense, I want to know more about how we're fixing the D.
