Shane Walron's Erhardt-Perkins Offense - QB friendly.

Other than the simplified play-calling, the thing I heard in that the E-P offense is “run heavy” and features a lot of “play action passing” and varieties of formations.  I think Waldron was hired because that’s the style of offense Eberflus wants.  

Waldron likes to run the Sean McVay/Kyle Shanahan variant of the West Coast offense that is very play-action heavy.  If you dig into many of the analyses or description of the WCO, you will see some that use the run to set up the pass and others will say that you use the pass to set up the run.

Personally, I think that both descriptions are true as it requires a skilled offensive unit that can run very well and can pass very well.  Then you use whatever dimension you have to use in order to inflict the most stress (aka gaining multiple first downs and scoring) on the defense as possible.

As a fellow "old dude" how are you feeling about this developing Bears offense?  I am still a bit stunned/numb because I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime as far as being a Chicago Bears fan.  I know it's way too early to judge how good Caleb Williams will be - and how quickly he can develop.  But David, I really think this guy could end up being one of the best QBs in the NFL (Hall of Fame level career).  His raw mental and physical QB talent is off-the-charts.  It will be fascinating to watch and see how quickly he can transition to the NFL play.  While I don't expect great things this first rookie season - it is possible he does learn quickly and has a very solid year.  I think the Bears have checked all the boxes for providing him the opportunity to do this - but the one box that may or may not be checked is the OL.  Maybe it's good.  I just don't know.  If it is a solid OL and can remain relatively healthy, then wow... anything is possible this year.  Wouldn't it be a stunner if the "Super Bowl Ready" year is now?  LOL, I'm not saying it is.  But hey, crazy things happen in the NFL.
