running and short yardage fix

Advertisement
We can’t keep trying to run the ball out of shotgun in short-yardage situations. When the defense knows we’re running, giving the back the ball 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage puts us at a disadvantage.


Shotgun runs give defenders more time to collapse gaps and key on the back’s path. In short-yardage, that horizontal step before going downhill costs momentum.


The I-formation fixes this. It gives the running back momentum, allows for a lead blocker, and forces the defense to respect multiple play options. For 3rd-and-short or goal-line situations, lining up under center is a much higher percentage call.
Just going on the record and saying an I formation from the CANES specifically is special.

ohh the days I remember when we would do it.. when we had another #11 at QB

oh I also remember using a LB as our FB during some of those plays as well. we have the players to execute 1000% (not saying use a LB but saying loften is perfect)
