"We¡¯re running a skeleton offense with him right now but he still gets us really good shots.¡± This may be a stupid question to many of you..what exactly does Rudy mean here? Thanks!
Simple. He is running a unsophisticated version of his offense. A siplified version of it. Like a child learns simple elements of language. You teach it more complex elements as they age. The offense is not as diverse as it will be in the future. It is a common Slang term.
If you have 20 different plays in your offense but are only able to run 3 of them then that would be considered a skeleton offense. In other words for what ever reason he can't use the whole thing.
