Feature on how the NFL has finally caught up with Mouse Davis' offense

About how football purists hated the run-and-shoot offense he was creating, Mouse Davis laughed and said:
"They called us communists. Now they're all communists." (HSB)


About how the NFL has validated what Mouse Davis was criticized for 30 years ago, Steve Bartkowski said:
"It's funny, because everybody is doing now what Mouse and June were doing 30 years ago." (HSB)


About how NFL teams are running 4-WR run-and-shoot type of systems, Mouse said:
"Indianapolis and New England use them a lot. I haven't scouted New Orleans that much, but I'm told they do, too. Of course, they can do it because they have good quarterbacks." (HSB)


About believing in Mouse's offense and asking him to speak at UH's high school coaches clinic yesterday, Mack said:
"Mouse has been running it since I was at Aloha (Oregon) High School and he was at Sunset." (HSB)


Asked why it took so long for Mouse's system to catch on with the NFL, Mack said:
"I think they were afraid of the quarterback getting hurt. And you know how it is, everybody runs the same offense. So it took some guts. Everybody uses parts of it, mostly on third down. Now Indy does it on first down. In my mind, as a defensive coach, it can't be defended if (the offense) is executing." (HSB)
