Bowen Doctrine

Solving the spread offense. Sounds like Clint Bowen is all over it. In this article from the KC Star he mentions that defensive philosophy has become stale, specifically the concept that offenses are not good enough to work the length of the field three to five yards at a time.

“Offenses and offensive coordinators, they do have the patience to do that short passing game over and over. To them, a 3-yard pass is just as good as a 3-yard run.”

The article mentions bump and run as part of the solution. We'll see if we get a taste of that tonight at the 7:00 p.m. spring game at Memorial.
