[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 301214, member: 265"] Looking at these clips (where, oh, where would we be without Longestday?) brings up something else that I mentioned in an earlier post. Notice [I]how[/I] MJ pitches the ball. He doesn't challenge the pitch key much at all. He runs at him and, as soon as the pitch key's shoulders turn toward him, he makes the pitch. No waiting until he's in the grasp, no juking to try to create edge openings: he makes the pitch, period. Now watch how quickly the plays develop. The AB is at the edge almost as soon as the pitch is made. This is how QBs like Jordan operate in Coach's O: they either run the ball to the hole when the pitch fails to commit (Nesbitt was great at that) or they make the pitch. I think JT was more like Keenan Reynolds (or vice versa; your choice). He held the ball and pushed the edge to try to create opportunities for big plays. MJ seems to be more like Will Worth. He will either make the pitch on the first commitment of the pitch key or he'll head for the hole and bull his way forward for 4 - 5 yards, or, if he's lucky, more. Worth made most of his big runs on mid-line options; he wasn't fast enough to blast around the edge. I expect the same with Jordan, although he appears to be a step faster then Worth. But this could all be off. We'll have to see how he develops to get an idea how he'll play and how the O will work. Having Mills back there will probably change things. [/QUOTE]
