the more things change, the more they stay the same, many teams still run this play, I think we did last week!!

thanks for posting
ketchup or mustard? cats or dogs? blonds or brunets?
Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. To me, it really comes down to the talent you have and the innovative level of understanding the staff has on the scheme.
I really liked what JoeMo did because defenses are so situational today. When you bring in your set, on offense, the D counters with their set. If you have three TEs or four WRs, the D sends in their pass rushing or run stopping DL and their man, zone, nickel DBs. JoeMo had three experienced and awesome WRs and an awesome TE with a generational RB. So that package didn't change much. He'd run, pass, deep pass, screen, reverse, jet sweep.......with the same set. The D had no idea about tendencies unless the RB motioned out of the backfield to an empty set.
This year, we are now playing three guys with very little game day experience (Hamler, Dotson, Friermuth). Last game, 75% of the WR/TE snaps were taken by guys who had never played in college game before this year. We'd have the same problem no matter who was at QB or what the scheme is this year.

to that end right here is that very debate going on. BTW NSFW these guys lead the NFL in rushing 8 /12 years, and were in the top 3 11/12 years (with 2 different teams and 9 different RB's) this is circa 2005 and I have it qued up to the place they really get into the meat of the discussion..
BTW the guys in the crowd is the current FL HC & OC (the big guy is FL OC/OL coach)
[QUOTE="kijanacat, post: 3819452, member: 40880] ... Joe Pa once said he preferred a power I since it made the defense defend both sides of the field and not favor one or the other.[/QUOTE]
I liked the “ProSet” PSU ran with Enis, Harris. Given the name, im surprised how it has disappeared - suspect the “full back” players aren’t the runners they used to be, and the “tail back” players aren’t the run blockers they were.

Pro style? Does that mean you leave money on the dresser afterwards?
