[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 133540, member: 617"] What you say is true, but it assumes that the play in question meets your operational definition of a trick play. If we can snap to Byerly and SURPRISE! it's a shotgun passing down and it's no lower percentage of success than other shotgun pass plays, well, then it's not a trick play. Except it's still a surprise pass from a nontraditional passer, so... yeah. TB and Synjyn's careers do make one think about possibilities. The Yellow Jackets didn't have much need to call midline plays last year (and I'd argue that we saw TB come in when CPJ wanted to use the midline- mostly against DC's we played early. I think the answer to "y u no byerly at goalline?" was either "because the bback is already kicking ***" or "because we're gaining steady on the keep or pitch") because defenses didn't give us a reason to. Now, in a world where the defense is consistently shutting down my star bback and JT ISN'T kicking *** on the outside, maybe I: Put TB in at Bback. At play call, I designate either JT to run the midline Bback scheme or TB to run a TO Bback scheme. At the mesh, the play resolves into either midline or TO, but up to that point the plays look exactly the same. You've just confused the hell out of the defender's assignments, and removed whatever tell putting in Byerly might be. Downside is you need JT to play a competent 'Bback' on the midline, expose him to stuff from doing that. Also would require a very momentum change at the mesh to work well (i.e. you need the QB to haul all *** and the BB to slow down so they hit the line in the proper order at the correct speed. Wouldn't really do it at GT, but if I was CPJ, head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, maybe I take 3 of the 7 excellent option quarterbacks I can buy for the price of one 'pro' quarterback and cross train them as Bbacks. Hell, maybe I select my entire backs stable from people who can throw, and turn the rocket toss into an optional pass play because why not? This, right here, is why I love GTswarm. It feels like it's Georgia Tech. [/QUOTE]
