The goal should be having strength in ALL positions so that way you can keep a defense off balance with a variety of plays and formations. That is what I like so much about the offense MD and Treadwell are putting together. On one play they can line up in an I formation and run the ball down your throat behind a mammoth offensive line, tight ends and a fullback. On the next play they can line up 5 wide in a shotgun formation and sling the ball anywhere on the field. Having that flexibility on offense allows you to call plays that negates your opponent's strengths and emphasizes their weaknesses.
