yeah I don't know if it's real or not. I can say JH get's "yardage" out of most all his WRs and maybe tilts the scale that they should be drafted higher. I'll also say, we've not had the high end WRs coming out like we've got on roster this year...over next few years. I mean Hyatt was awesome his SR year, but, in reality, he didn't find his identity in JH offense until SR year...and obviously has struggled in NFL. I think the "route tree" or "JH offense" is just a cover for WRs, in reality, being top of the heap in pure talent....JMO
Yeah, I think it's just lazy commentary by press/evaluators.Last season, CJH added a LOT of new wrinkles to his offense and expanded the route tree for our WRs. He also added the Pistol formation etc. Brooks the Film Guy did a breakdown last season of some of the new routes and wrinkles and said that the WRs would grow their skills etc and it would put a lot more pressure on defenses. Which we proceeded to lead the SEC in passing yards and 2nd in passing TDs as well IIRC.

I hate the talk about Heupel's system, but until one of our WR's comes to the league and does well, it's going to be a topic. Hyatt has thus far been a dud, and not many others have blown it open. They get drafted, but it isnt clicking.
