What is the biggest difference between when we were 6-2 and now?

Sellers has flat out earned more playing time. You take him off the field, and we're replacing him with a worse player, pure and simple.

You might be right about Sellars being the reason for having fewer 4/5 receivers sets. But, regardless of the reason i think that the offense has declined the more we've gone away from them. If you go back and look at some the early highlights its JC throwing from singleback, empty and shotgun with 3/4/5 receivers. JC was hitting the slants and hitches back then because its easier to make pre-snap reads from when the defense is spread out. Despite the opinion of the receivers, those formations were effective. And they should be even more effective now with DT11 and MK12 and sleepy Davis starting to contribute.

i couldn't find it in the highlights but JC was hitting slants with ease from the 4 wide set, he even had a few to Thrash and one to Kelly
