Boy is THAT the truth--in fact, I've been thinking that that is exactly the one drawback of an "alternating quarterback" set-up: we need a "clear cut leader", ideally that's the QB, but with the "sharing equals" idea it's that much harder to manage...But let's back up for a moment: Comments from various defenders over the last couple of weeks, especially after Saturday's "game", focus on the difficulty in facing multiple formations with varied personnel for the same OR totally different play-sequences, and how this will thoroughly confuse opposing defenses--that the only reason that THEY were able to hold their own at all against this offense is that they have been working against it for weeks.
This is Pease's variation on that "Chameleon Offense", I believe, and it DOES have some variations, some "wrinkles" he has added giving it flexibility to take advantage of the actual personnel and the specifics of the offense they're building here. When you consider the fact that they are "holding back" a lot of what they plan to implement until they get everyone back and/or in, both playmakers in the backfield and "big uglies" along the line come the fall, AND that the more-and-more potentially dominant defense will itself be similarly getting stronger, there is every reason that with our improved depth and a little better luck than last year on the injury-front, we could well be a team that is in the process of "arriving slightly early", ready to pull a few big surprises in the course of the 2012 season.
