Skipping right over Vedral to get to McCaffrey?

cant wait for Smothers to get here next year... fans will lose their minds on this board.

Sounds like you're explaining the Flexbone. I recall us running a variation of it a couple of games ago.

Honestly if the weather gets sloppy, Flexbone or the I formation might be our best option. It would eliminate the shot gun snap issue and allow us to easily get the ball to our talented skill guys!

hey, we have guys on here who are already assuming Vedral is better then Adrain Martinez and pushing the hype train on him...why not go Luke McCaffrey? He’s the fastest QB we have, has a legit arm on him and we all know what that McCaffrey blood line produces ;).....GBR

If he goes off on his package of olays and flat out balls do we have a situation in our QB room or what. I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT saying it will happen but It wou and d get interesting and a good problem to have since thwy all seem like great teammates.

You know if we line up in diamond formation Minnesota can then put 9 guys in the box right? You really want any team putting 9 in the box against our hapless OL?

I always love this stuff.

Yeah D1 DCs have no idea how to line up vs flexbone.
but it does allow most of the principles of Scott Frosts O. Messes with keys, and puts defenders in a position to choose. Its been practiced but they have to hit the big play that is designed to come from them. Twice we missed big plays from these formations and if we hit them we see more of it.
