Apparently the 4 finalists last year defied the rest of the league in their offensive approach. We obviously have ignored this trend and our roster reflects that approach. Should we adopt it, or is it an aberration? It will be interesting to see who has the better year and in the long run- Nabors or Bowers?
ESPN-
"trend found in all four of last season's conference finalists: the frequent use of pre-snap motion, a preference for two-tight-end and two-back formations, and the presence of an elite pass-catching tight end.
Indeed, the Chiefs, 49ers, Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions rode their commonalities to great effect last season, ultimately finding themselves atop their respective conferences while winning 48 regular-season games and four division titles among them. And while their general approaches largely mirrored each other, they were starkly different when compared to the rest of the NFL, perhaps making it a template others might choose in a league notorious for its copycats."
