[QUOTE="GTrob21, post: 11021, member: 84"] Three reasons 1) That is his system from Hillside, you can go watch a bunch of film on him from High school and its predominately from the gun. He is more familiar with this 2) Game film from his time at GT, especially this year. It seems that Vad really struggles to read the DE when he is dropping back from being under center. Go watch the VaTech game, and their DE would "fake" crashing down, and then pull back. It really messed with Vad's read. I believe Vad is thinking to much, and because of that, he is struggling. You don't see that same struggle when we are running the pistol or the diamond. 3) Skill set of Vad: we have a decent sample size on Vad and there are things that stick out. He is a great leader, He can pass( I know he had a bad game vs VaTech), and He is a long strider (meaning he is speedy, but it just take him 2 more steps to get to his speed, ala Vince Young). The last one being a long strider, in my opinion, makes him much better suited to run from the gun. It allows him a fraction of a second longer to make adjustments. Final: All of these make it tougher for him to produce in an offense where reading is the key. It also makes it difficult on footwork when many of the pass plays, involve your feet moving in ways your not accustomed too, especially because it take long for him to move his feet, even more so when our OL have such wide splits and it allows a quick penetration from the DL. I think JT's skill set which is a very quick football player will simply lead to consistently bigger plays that Vad if they are both under center. I have no clue if JT can make the reads, but if I were the coach, I would put Vad in more situations where we run diamond or pistol. It appears to "fit" him better. I also think Coach Johnson doesn't want to do this, he wants to prove his system can run and run effectively against the VaTech's, Miami's, Georgia's. He has been told his entire coaching career that this offense wouldn't work at higher levels, I feel like its a personal crusade with Johnson. [/QUOTE]
