I think simplifying things is for the best. Our offense has a smaller playbook but practices with tons of repetition. With how much our defense is on the field, I think this should help them a lot.

Good to hear. A lot of our mistakes last year on defense were mental. Simplify it for the players and they can play smarter IMO.

I thought the narrative from last year was that Pellum was planning on simplifying the playbook in comparison to Aliotti? Did that not happen?
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Or simply not enough simplification last year.

Curious to see how this will pan out, considering some of DP's critics say he doesn't do enough gameplanning for specific schemes/opponents, which would seem to indicate the need to be more complex, not less.

In the article, it mentioned that we'd have fewer play call options during the game. So perhaps our options will decline, and our complexity will increase. It's really hard to get a good grasp of what the context of complexity is in this article, so we'll have to wait and see.

I think our O and the Seahawks D have shown one thing, just do what you do very well, and screw trying to do to much.

If we could get a defense like the Seahawks we could win games if our offense struggled. That will not happen with Pellum as our DC though. I do not see anything in article that makes me feel we can win a game if our offense does not score 30. For years we have had one of the better offenses in country. Last year our defense took a step backwards. If our offense has 5 games next year where it does not score 30 points or more... ask self how many of those games do you realistically think we win. I think maybe one.. which suggests we rely to much on our offense having to score more than 30 to win.
