They definitely revolutionized the game. Teams saw what they did and wanted to do it. They just couldn't do it. Not being repeatable doesn't make it not revolutionary. It was innovative. Like Holt said, players weren't running deep routes like that, at that rate, if at all.
Problem was, there won't be another team in NFL history with the roster necessary to pull it off. They arguably had the best QB, best WR tandem, and best hybrid RB in the game on the same team. An and offensive wizard in the mind of Martz.
No way. I'd argue that what Chip is trying to do is a form of the GSOT. He has the closest thing to Marshall in the NFL in McCoy (not that McCoy is even close). Kelly runs that O at an insane speed. GSOT was all about high-end speed and precision. You flat out weren't catching them and they'd run you ragged trying.

Hell, I would argue that Chip Kelly's offense is more revolutionary now and in college than Martz's GSOT days.
