[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 94992, member: 1640"] I have said this before. It strikes me as laziness. These guys spend a lot of time studying offensive systems that are not like Tech. To be familiar with Tech requires accepting an entirely different mindset about offense than what they are habituated to. They are used to talking in cliches about most offenses but when they use cliches with Tech it is clear that they are way over their heads. Hence, they would rather just call the B-back a fullback and they would rather try to translate Tech's style into something they already understand. They would rather sound knowledgeable than to say things like, "This is a different kind of system but they tell me that it is based on offensive principles that are found in almost every type of offense, something about getting a numbers advantage and not wasting a block on a player who is not going to be able to make the play. I think it also has something to do with timing so let's just watch how this B-back runs and notice that he is exploiting the same type of numbers game that an A-back exploits when he runs to the outside but in both cases, they tell me, it has something to with making the defense commit first or at least begin to play toward a tendency. But I am no expert on this and all I can really tell you is that this offense averages more points a game than most top ten teams and is more efficient than any other team in converting 3rd downs, so it is definitely an offense that defenses have to take very very seriously." But this would be too much to ask wouldn't it. [/QUOTE]
