A Little Formation To Get You Excited

[CaptainAmerica]

Good stuff.

However, the question I have is can we block them and handle their pressure? That's one of the main things that has destroyed our offensive possibilities the past 2 years.

The problem with this is that Felix and Bennett are not true wide recievers and though they can beat Safeties and linebackers, they are not going to beat true corners. This leaves nine in the box to stuff Marion and Choice. Sorry but I don't think this is a good plan.

Huh?

Please do not ever coach your kids or anyone else's kids in football. Ever. Thanks.

No one would ever stack 9 in the box against any team. That's suicide. All you have to do is send 3 people on pass routes and someone is wide open.

Exactamundo!
* damn you Hos for starting this thread! You're getting me fired up already! I cannot WAIT for the season to kickoff!!

So, if there are 2 corners covering Jones and Bennet and "nine players in the box", there's no one covering Jason Witten.

Touchdown!

Yet another hole in your "theory", starfrombirth! At best Witten would draw single coverage from a LB or S, which is gravy, IMO. OC doesn't seem to be your calling, my friend!!

That may be the funniest AND harshest post I have ever seen. I literally LOL'd here at work.

The Gritz Blitz would. Sadly, they are no more.

I am excited about offensive formations this offseason for multiple reasons.

First, several key players are returning healthy so we shouldn't see linemen still in their stance while the QB is getting thrown to the ground. Second, egos should be checked at the door allowing the focus to be spread around. Third, our new additions last year should be thoroughly acclimated to the offense. Fourth, the coaches now know what we have in our RB corps and would have to be complete idiots not to use them.

For these reasons, formations such as Hostile's should find alot of success.

**** I wouldn't respect Garrett with those bull**** *** plays he was calling either. The back up QB is a big reason why we didn't make the play offs. He couldn't make all the throws there was no reason for him to be our back up. I know Owens is gone and it will hurt us. But forgive me for not sucking off some formation that your drooling over when Garrett is supposed to do more with less and we didn't even see an inkling of anything like this last season.

Out of curosity HoS why did you conveniently ignore this post?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

that's awesome, Hos

we also need a wildcat option with Stephen McGee in as QB with Felix and Barber in the backfield

Witten, Bennett on the left side, and Austin as the wide on the other

McGee takes the snap

Felix and Barber split out wide-left, with Barber out in front

McGee pitches to Felix

danger...

you have Witten, Bennett, Barber and Kosier (who pulls) as blockers for Felix, who is in the open field with the football, able to use his speed and vision

you could also use this formation as a passing play, just have Bennett sneak across the middle of the field, and have McGee dump it to him from the left, so you have the motion and the defense going left, leaving the whole right side of the field open for Bennett to streak across of, reminiscent of that 50+ yard catch and run Bennett had in the workouts

Most likely because it failed to include a question.

or that Felix was injured

screw that kid.

he provides a threat to run the football, so no

No matter how short or long, a reply may be epic. I may have to break out the ambulance.

you don't take Romo off the field unless you're punting,kicking a fg, or kicking an extra point.

I can do whatever the hell I want!

THE ABS MAN HAS SPOKEN!!! But Rampage is right.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

THE ABS MAN HAS SPOKEN!!! But Rampage is right.

why is he right?

we want to run the WC, would you rather have a WR be the point man? or an actual QB who fits the WC profile?

this formation with McGee gives you 4 distinct options:

1. quick handoff to Barber

2. pitch to Felix

3. pass to Bennett with a bunch of field in front of him

4. McGee with a bunch of blockers can just run it himself

Taking Romo off the field cues the defensive coordinator to counter by having the defense key on the running backs and take his chances that McGee won't hurt the him by either passing or keeping the ball. He has to have his defense continuing to include Romo because he can burn you either way every time.

McGee would have to be the 2nd string QB then, because if he were the 3rd string, once he enters the game Romo would not be able to return.

Why would Romo not be able to return? It would only be a substitution.
