Quote:saying he's a good back in a ZBS doesn't mean that's the main reason they drafted him, like you implied.  

 

Like I said - the writing is on the walls.  All the players are getting bigger.  Even Beadles was asked to get big.  Wonder why?  Is it maybe because their new offensive line coach basically said "you guys are too light to play in my new scheme"?  Marrone likes the gap/power scheme more, and the evidence is there.  The players are getting heavier, we drafted a power guard in Cann, signed a power player in Parnell.  Sure, there will be zone concepts in our offense, like there are in everyones, but there is a shift towards the gap/power blocking scheme and it's pretty apparent.
