We can run some fairly simple motion concepts. Seriously, as I said non-stop for the last 3 seasons, I'd watch some HS football games where the QB would run a player across and back and at least get to unearth coverages (man underneath, etc.). Some people think motion is like a magic pill that's going to get guys wide open. More likely, it's just a basic tool to help out the QB with info and perhaps a guy like Mark Pope in better matchups.
But, the fact you don't do it at all makes some wonder what else you're not doing to make things easier. At worst, it places the defense in a position to prepare harder. We must have been the easiest team to prepare for all f'in season and that's just sad.
This. Motion isn't some magic potion that turns a bad offense into a great one. (See Fuente's toilet offense at VT) but it certainly can help. What I'm more interested in is how many formations they're going to use. I think Richt used 5 or 6 total. If they break the huddle against Florida in one formation and then motion into a different one, I may **** my pants.
