lol - that is a true and accurate statement. Prothro has the ability to turn an ordinary incomplete pass into the greatest catch you ever saw in your life--literally!
The thing about Shula's offense....sometimes I get the feeling it doesn't exploit our players' unique strengths. They must fit the system, which is a straight pro-set attack. He seems determined to call certain plays regardless of the inevitable outcome (11 sacks, anyone?).
Coaches like Stallings and Spurrier will find what works, and keep doing it until the defense stops it. How many times at Florida did Spurrier find the weaklink DB and pick on him all day? Similarly, Stallings would pound and pound at the LOS, playing field position. Both approaches won lots of games.
But to answer the original question, our 2006 offense will be as spicy as a plain baked potato with no toppings . . . UNLESS some Tabasco sauce of a player like Tyrone Prothro rises to the fore.
