IMO that was one of the main issues why the pro set offense did not work for us.The lack of quality OL. The pool of the high quality OL is very small and the competition to get them is fierce .They get diluted to a point where teams are obligated to recruit smaller less talented ones to fill in.

That why we need to spread the offense out and speed up the offense so there will be less strain on the OL.

Not sure I could disagree with you more. OL is a position that coaching will make the most impact. It is about attitude, quality strength program with the individual truly committing to it, eating and getting a quality coach to coach them the correct technique. And probably the most overlooked aspect of an OL unit is the team work of knowing what the guy to the left and right of you will do in a situation. Simply spreading it out and speeding it up won't fix a damn thing except put the strain on your QB position. It also can put a big strain on your OL because you will need a deep bench and they will need to be more experienced with each other more so than the norm.
