McCarthy's Spread Offense

Haslett said on 4th down on 4 on 05/16/04 two different times that they would run their offense out of spread formations more often this year.

After the Patriots/Colts playoff game this past year where the Patriots DBs mugged the Colts receivers the entire game the league said they intend on calling interference and/or holding more often when these tactics are used. This favors the passing game and is even more reason to spread the defense out to create mismatches in one on one situations.
