Thanks for posting this and starting the thread!
Fundamentally, what I see with Sark's offense is a lot of window dressing, intended to confuse the defense, get them thinking and putting single players into conflict, leading to hesitation and sometimes outright freezing the defender, as we saw on the last Bijan clip. What's great about the offense is that from an offense perspective, it's pretty much the same reads, same keys, etc. Easy to teach with limited practice time and Quinn's presence and arm talent opens up more of the field than we had previously. What'll be interesting to see is how they continue to layer more concepts over time as he gets his reps down with the plays they are showing now....
The other thing that the motion does is to make the pass rushers very hesitant, which may be contributing to why our pass blocking has been better then run blocking to date. Will be interesting to see what happens as teams adjust to drop more people into areas that we are regularly throwing to...for example, if you start moving a linebacker to cover the flat regularly to take away the te/back combo, you open the box a little more as well as open the seam for a back or backside slot receiver. Billingsly will add another element as he's not the people mover that Helms is nor the complete TE like Sanders but he'll likely add a level of pass catching that could result in a lot of pain in 12 personnel. He's also a good enough receiver that you can have him out there with whitt and worthy and then move into 11 personnel if you catch them with an extra linebacker. A lot of these concepts can also be done with different personnel groups, which makes it hard for those Dcoordinators that like to match their packages to who the offense has out. ISU will be interesting to see. On the surface, 3 man front with layered drop 8 should lead to easy running lanes but ISU has been stout against the run. What happens to those backers once they start to get hesitant with their fits and also have to defend the middle of the field, which we haven't been able to exploit in the past?
