The formation everyone is talking about is the T-formation, which is exactly as it seems. 3 backs aligned parallel to the LOS. Kind of like the wishbone, except all 3 guys are in a line.
This is just a standard 21 set (2 backs, 1 tight end), with both receivers left and the TE aligned in-line to the boundary.
This is what happens when you run the ball through people's faces. Watch the nickel #34. He is FLYING into the backfield, anticipating what we've been doing all day, which is running through his face. But Pringle, instead of blocking, slips past him into the flat. Yes, this would have been a house call were Beck to pull it and flip the ball out. But no need to do that at this point in a game versus an inferior opponent. You can bet your *** though this week, and going forward, if Dawson and Beck sees whoever is playing #34's spot on our future opponents crashing this hard, that ball will be thrown to the flat.
One other thing I love here...they have EIGHT guys in the box. 9, if you want to count the nickel. And we run the ball right into the A-Gap for 13 yards. This is called whipping the **** out of your opponent. They have quit at this point. It's 28-6, late in the 3rd quarter, it's about 5 hours since we kicked off, you've been just beating the **** out of me all night....I'm done. Oh, Fletcher gets 13 here as I said, and gets 13 more for a touchdown on the next play. This is the definition of imposing your will. There is no way in **** you should run into the A-gap for 13 yards into 8 guys. But we do, because we have already snatched their souls over the previous 44 minutes of this game.
