[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 279869, member: 2451"] Well, ok, IF we remove recruiting restrictions. Bear Bryant changed from the pro set to the wishbone in the late 1960s. I saw a TV show where he was asked why he did it. As best as I could interpret from that Arkansas drawl he was impressed by two things: First the quarterback does not have to be a Joe Namath or Snake Stabler for the offense to be effective. The quarterback has fewer reads and less pressure. Secondly, in a pro set it seemed to him that the blocking has to be almost perfect while in the triple option if one or two guys make great blocks or a defender takes a false step its Katie bar the door. There were other things but the Bear liked the idea of having smaller and quicker linemen coupled with backs like Tony Nathan and Major Oglive who only needed a step and a crack. [/QUOTE]
