Yeah it’s like say last year right…when Cam McCormick would come into the game everyone knew it was a run. If you go under center and run it up the middle every time then what are we doing?

Florida let Cam go on his TD catch and he snuck through the middle wide open

But if you’re adding some wrinkles you can turn something basic into something awesome. Kyle Shanahan is sort of a rainbow example but watching the things he does from a handful of the same formations, and how little tweaks go a long way

I’m trying to remember what year it was, think it was the Gattis year, where it felt like every single time we put a tight end in motion it was to get him to seal the edge for an off tackle run. It was ******* infuriating. Like you said, just don’t be so predictable lol

I used to be a big spread guy for almost two decades but the last couple years I see you need a mixture , having a multiple offense is the best way to go. You have options.

If you play a team weak up front you can mash them and if they have a weak secondary you can spread them out exposing that area. There’s also short yardage / goal line and the play action game. Nothing ****es me off more than short yardage situations and a team goes shotgun. It’s idiotic. Why would you hand the ball to a back standing still four yards behind the los. Let him build up steam going downhill?

Everything always comes full circle and I believe teams realize this now. It’s ok to be finesse at times but at the end of the day physicality and the trenches wins championships.

Exactly.

I saw some misdirection yesterday and some slow mesh in shotgun. Not sure if Ward had a decision there but it was so slow I imagine he did. I felt like the pull and throw to the te was an rpo.

Though neither Martinez or Fletcher rushed for astounding numbers, the patience by Martinez and the surprising burst from Fletcher were nice to see. Those boys will both go off this year when we go run heavy, depending on the defense we’re facing.

To those under 50, the flex position used to often be called a "fullback" and would almost exclusively line up like Lofton did in that goal line gadget package.
