[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 422912, member: 2451"] The counter is too slow but if run correctly it is a ***** for linebackers who take one or two steps the wrong way and have left a good angle for a lineman to block them. The counter trap that we run with Benson seems pretty effective most of the time. I wonder if anyone has ever done a study of which of the basic plays works the best over the course of the season? I am sure it has to do with how teams are playing us and the particular strengths of the quarterbacks and such. The problem, as I see it, is that teams have started to sell out on the motion and it is really hard to get a hat on the deep set middle linebacker and the safeties who are flowing to the play side. I do not pretend to have an answer but I do recall that teams that tried that early on when we had Thomas at receiver learned real quick that leaving no safety help for a corner matched up with Bey Bey more often than not led to a touchdown. I can't blame teams for doing this. If I were a defensive coordinator I would be sending those safeties up in a hurry and leave the corners on an island with our wide receivers. No disrespect intended but I would be willing to bet that more times than not you (the receivers) can't beat our single coverage and your tackles cannot block our outside linebackers and safeties. Simple as that. [/QUOTE]
