This is a deep analysis. The new offensive is bound to be a hybrid of sorts. Zorn has billed it "West Coast," but I recall that he hinted it would not be purely that style. It seems clear that it won't be a carbon copy of another team's system.

None of the Skins new offensive coaches have reputations as masterminds. Maybe they will after the season is through, but a new staff with a new playbook suggests that it might be an evolving system -- with tweaks and improvements game to game.

Don't read this as pessimistic but, like breaking in a pair of new shoes, there's bound to be some pain before the comfort.
