The issue with Teevens's teams is they played very soft.  The shotgun handoff was the epitome of that.  I have nothing against finesse in football (indeed, it's the direction football is necessarily going) but what we are seeing today is directly similar to what people didn't like about Teevens's teams.  Mushy, gusy, gashed up defense and slow, soft, non-assertive offense.  

Watching EJ Smith run out of bounds against USC (something I've only seen referred to once on these boards) reminded me directly of Chris Lewis running out of bounds on 4th down so many years ago... Demonstrates a lack of heart to leave so much on the table.
