As an aside from the main point here, the great sad irony of Sumlin's tenure is that we went AWAY from that offense just as he GOT super-talent at the QB position. Everyone thought we were going to, for the first time, see a Leach-type offense paired with a 5* talent. The hype was "now we see the super scheme paired with the super talent as never before!" Instead, Spavital installed more and more West-coast type schematic elements, complicated the philosophy, asked for NFL-like throws at times, and slowed everything down.
