Mate...I can’t fault your observation at all....in fact...as I read it....exactly how I see it- for right or wrong....just think I explain the same thing in a different way??When i say "soft" i am meaning less gang and dominant tackles in the go forward sets.
Did i ever state second man plays are a mind blowing new age theory, it is more about the way you structure, time and apply the lateral second man go forward plays and how you mix them up with skill and varied variety so the pet/stock second man plays have more effect.
You also want to engage the middle enough before the spread to induce the central defenders to keep moving across, otherwise they give up on the play way too early keeping the middle composed with ample time and readiness for the next play.
Personally, I like your work TC....you probably just have a different science on the game - but a very good 1.
