[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 52595, member: 959"] @33 CPJ has said many many times he doesn't signal in plays because of his time at NAVY. He has an anecdotal story about the guys (some of whom took code breaking as a course) were coming to him during the game to tell him the other team's signals. As a MAJOR factor of our offense relies on misdirection that would put us at a significant disadvantage. Having said that, we could obviously go to signing in plays on what we believe to be clear downs (3rd and long needs pass, 4th and inches needs dive) but again why tip the other team any more? Finally, as to creativity and the apparent lack of playing time/practice time. I recall CPJ mentioning time in and time out that when we can not run our base offense having cutesy stuff doesn't really help. I get some people don't like the 3O, or our base packages. That is a fundamental theory discussion - not necessarily lacking in creativity. One could argue that his constant adjustment of splits, use of motion to set up future plays, response to overall D theory during the game to exploit expected weakness (ala running the wheel route from the BBack any number of times) all line up behind the creativity masthead. I admit, I am a big fan of this offense, and to that end love watching the nuance and subtlety to it. There are some guys on here who are WAY more XsandOs smart than I am, and some old playbooks of CPJ have been posted multiple places on here. I might suggest you read some of the Q&A threads, or review the text of the playbooks to get a different (if not more accurate) perspective on his creativity. [/QUOTE]
