Questions about the WCO, our strategy and your thoughts

In addition, with the WCO spreading a defense horizontally, it can benefit the run game by creating running lanes. My one complaint of the Gibbs style running attack is that it favors a larger back. If we're going to do the WCO whole hog, I'd like to see much more spread the defense out, Alex Gibbs-style zone blocking that sprung Portis for so many long runs in Denver. Our brute force approach to the run will no doubt shorten Portis's career.
