It's just that, personally, I find it dangerous to over
parse coaches words, in whatever context. Analysis and paralysis of transcripts and pressers and events is not my thing. I tend to dismiss it all.
I'm much more comforted (and comfortable) looking at the product on the field and trying to figure out what the team is trying to accomplish, offensively or defensively.
I feel that Weis will forever be a chameleon type of offensive coach, feeling that his base offense can move the ball and can accommodate any number of various "types" of players. In other words, I don't think he recruits to a particular style offense. I think he tries to get the best-available players. He's missed on some recruiting targets and hit on others, but about the only clear things I can confidently say about his offense are:
- it's qb-centric
- he's going to devise a gameplan based on how he thinks he can attack an opponent
- he won't stick to a running attack if the opposing defense is able to stuff it early
- it's most effective when he has multiple versatile TEs and RBs who have good cut-back ability/vision.
From a purely offensive standpoint and if executed reasonably well, I'm positive his offense works just fine at any level of ball.
