5. Brian Hartline

Question: Did the Bucks run any plays w/wo Henton that looked like the spread? I keep thinking that even a moderately run capable QB could run a spread when you have receivers like Hartline, Robo and Saine and an RB like Wells.

Not that I saw...that's the thing I was hoping to see a peak of as well but I'm guessing JT wouldn't want to give anyone a free look at that.

From JTs perspective the Spring game is one of 15 valuable practices. He worked on what he wanted to work on in that session - and it didn't happen to be the spread. I wouldn't read anything into it. Same as we didn't see the dreaded "pony".

If I had to guess I would think that dividing into two teams of players that are otherwise never on the same units limits what you can effectively do on the field.

If I'm not mistaken, there was at least one series in the second half were we went five wide with Henton at QB.

That's what I would have thought. It's not, as some Michigan posters would have you believe, that JT hasn't seen and used the spread. And just as showing the spread in a spring game gives something away to those who might scout us, it also gives something more to think/worry about to those same scouts. I also don't think that Pryor was brought here to collect splinters. I would not want to have to plan for the many ways this offense could go.
