Chaney-ball reminds me of Walt's offense

[Sean Miller Fan]

Maybe I'm off base but I see a lot of similarities. It was kind of weird because even though Ark had 3 1000 yard rushers last season, the main criticism of Chaney from Ark fans was that he fell on love with the pass when they could have just run it almost every play.

Chaney was with Joe Tiller at Wyoming and Purdue and ran that bball on grass offense, one of the first to do it (of course, easy to do that when you have Brees) which was similar to what Walt was doing at the time.

Walt never had a good running game even though he had talented backs and our running game has been bad this year also. I wonder if Chaney sees Peterman as his gunslinger who can go 30 for 45 for 320 and win games like that.

FWIW, Peterman reminds me of John Turman, not the best, but an adequate QB.

WLAT never had a strong running game because he never built a really strong O line. The most talented backs and QBs in the world don;t look so great if the O line isn't strong. it all starts there. without strong OL play, the offense can;t be successful. The same is true on the other side of the ball.

Eh. Walt was one of the best mid range and long passing offensive minds at that time. That was what his offense was in a nutshell. Same as Bruce Arians, always looking to set up the big passing play, though Arians lets his QBs get mutilated, while Walt taught his kids to make 2, 3 reads then tuck and run.

He didn't really try to run for any effect other than giving up a pawn to set up a big move with the Bishop.

I don't see any real similarity. From what I am seeing, Cheney kind of switches back and forth from pro sets to zone read type sets, and likes to pass from the zone read, there is an article I read somewhere today that has pretty much put the traditional tampa 2 off the table.

At same time as your point about his time at Arkansas highlights, he also will get the run game going.

I think his goal is ... gasp, balance.

I also think when he and Nards were hashing things out the goal was something like what MSU did - have a power run game while also having some good WRs and a pro style passing game and QB.

I wish it were so...

Go Pitt.

I don't see it. Walt was usually up the field and vertical.

Don't know about Walt. But, I'd trade a SR R.J. English for a SR Dontez Ford right now.

I see no similarities at all
