[QUOTE="DawgCatcher, post: 181207, member: 1944"] Shaq kept the serious 1-2 hammering punch of the dive threat of Laskey and Synjyn the Engine ever present forcing Defenses to react to it. We have to re-establish the dive threat - one of our bread-n-butter plays with the TO - to insure Offensive success. Laskey was almost a sure bet for 4-5 yards every time he hammered through past the Shaq Attack, which largely accounted for only about 20 punts last year for the entire season and one of the best 3rd down and 4th down conversion percentages in the nation. This kept Defenses focused for the dive along with the pass threat and the pitch-outs, forcing the Defenses to play more conservatively IMO. I believe these teams we have played have not had to worry too much about the dive or the pass (until recently - thanks to Jeune ;)) and have been able to concentrate their efforts on a one-dimensional pitch-only option allowing them to liberally flood the backfield with rushers to disrupt the option. We have to win the battle in the trenches and open up some Mack truck-size holes to give Skov some room to pile-drive the defense and find some daylight. If we cannot re-establish the dive play, this team is going to be in a heap of trouble. [/QUOTE]
