From what I can tell Shaw seems pretty committed to the various personnel packages. It's pretty easy to see the pluses and minuses there. They set up personnel advantages for particular plays, newer players get trained to do specific things well, and it keeps everybody involved and improving. On the other hand, they tend to tip off what you are likely to do and they may result in having less than your best personnel on the field.

Don't have a problem with multiple personnel in general. It's a tradeoff, as you say. The question is, what are you trading off? If you're spelling Michael Rector with Jordan Pratt, that seems acceptable. But the team went much, much deeper than I think is wise -- your Rollins Stallworths or Eddie Plantarics. At a certain point the tradeoffs don't favor you and I think Stanford's offense too often reached that point last year.

It should be interesting to see how that plays out this year. Wideouts are deep and established. We should see some improvement from TEs, though it's unclear how much (or how deep we are). There are a lot of names are RB, but again it's not clear how good they are (or how deep they are). So there will be a lot of decisions to make and information to process on Shaw et al.'s part.
