I've heard this a lot from Pickett as well as Pitt offensive people and I fundamentally disagree. I think the best offenses scheme ways to get people the ball who they believe are explosive. This notion that the defense dictates where the ball goes explains why the offense and qb looks so slow to process because we don't say "we want the ball in player X's hand. What plays formations or adjustments can we do to dictate who is getting the ball rather than just running plays and hoping someone gets open. Just my two cents.
