[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 526911, member: 265"] As I've said before there really isn't much difference between playing RB in a shotgun spread and playing BB. Better then half the plays are double options where the RB is headed for a particular gap (usually the B) and the QB reads the DE to determine whether to hand off or keep. The shotgun teams also run the equivalent of the speed option, just like we did. Every now and then, the RB gets an option on the hole to hit, but that's usually a matter of reading between two set blocks. (This is how the pros do it.) The rest of the time they are pass blocking or running routes. Only the last is an additional skill for our BBs coming back. True, it sometimes [I]looks[/I] different. With Mills (it still hurts) and Benson the BB played close to the line because they were very quick starters. But go back and look at Dwyer and Allen. Both of them started further back to allow them to get up some steam and do a little juking at the hole. I'm pretty sure that Benson, if he's healthy, will start and do extremely well, no matter how deep he plays. [/QUOTE]
