Heupel offense in the NFL

In the running play Zach highlights, the Lions defense has 6 in the box plus a safety to defend the run against 5 OL, the QB, and the RB. A LB and the safety both take the QB and a DT that beat his blocker across face also takes QB instead of pursing the RB, leaving the RB side wide open through B gap. It’s a bust. Plus the playside defender aligned over the inside WR has inside leverage and then inexplicably jumps outside to let himself get blocked. It’s a defensive clown show.

The Lions defended the run with even numbers and left the outside defenders 1 v 1. That’s almost always a pass read in Heupel’s offense.

Our offense struggled against good teams because we didn’t win the line of scrimmage enough. There’s no way any offense works without it.

So Kingsbury starts using UT's formations and concepts, but CJH needs to study Kingsbury to change his offense? How does that make sense.

We need a QB that can run the offense and the last 2 years we haven't had that.
Heupel should study every successful offensive coach and gleam what he can from them. All coaches should.
