Zoners, question, with Spears quicker, use him at FB in goaline sit.?

[cowboyjoe]

ok, this maybe silly, but i remember that parcells had tried spears at TE, or fb in some situations at the goalline. So, in big 3rd down runs like 3rd and inches or at goalline, would marcus spears now being leaner, quicker, and since spears played TE at high school. How about trying him at goalline FB etc?

I'm sure he can get in the way. Can he block someone and more importantly know who and which way to block him?

That is a pretty good idea!

Give Anderson the boot and use that roster spot for the second kicker.

I'd rather him work on being a DE.

Pretty sure working into the goaline packages on offense wouldn't detract from that...

But, he certainly leaves a lot to be desired on defense in my eyes anyway.

the way Cricket's been hitting folks, I think we may be OK at FB

gimmick

 

[cowboyjoe]

true, but gimmicks work, look at the wildcat formation last year used by the dolpins, it worked and surprised teams;

so basically i was looking to see if the cowboys had a player like the Refrigerator Perry that played for the Bears, that gimmick worked

the shotgun formation gimmick used by Landry in 75 worked

in other words, im looking for a play that can help identify this team, whether it be a big huge FB or a version of wildcat, or a nasty defense like the bears had with the 46 defense, to help put a idenity to this team;

Gimmicks work for a few weeks until teams get enough tape on how a team is using them. The wildcat was shut down after a couple of weeks last year.

The only gimmick play I care for is the flea flicker.

LOL sorry about htat, i read the post as I was leaving yesterday. From what I've heard he's doing good. Should be splitting carries w/ a couple of guys (Vernon Frazier (Duncanville HS) and Jason Williams (tyler, Lee HS).

I think the run game may be the weak link in the offense, but w/ Mike Price, it's apass happy offense anyway.

How's Eddie Britton doing up there at Tech? He's a guy I'd wished would have stayed here...he's looked pretty good

I'd say throughout the history of the league, gimmicks that involve skill players tend to work a hell of a lot better then those involving fat *****
