[QUOTE="Techster, post: 121834, member: 360"] That's one thing the "pro" game probably does right. Instead of being "married" to one formation, the pro offenses have different packages for different situations. You'll see a lot of UC formations with jumbo packages in short yardage/goal line situations. Heck, even CPJ use to run a "jumbo" package during his Hawaii days for goal line and short yardage situations. The more I've learned about football over the years, the more I've realized how counter-intuitive some things are in football. For instance, in short yardage situations, why do offenses put their jumbo packages in and crowd the LOS to gain 1-3 yards? When you do that, the defense answers by crowding the same space, and now you have more bodies defending the area you're trying to gain yardage. To make matters worse, you run a play right up the middle where there's the most density of bodies. Must be the old school, tough "mano-e-mano" my guys are going to beat your guys to prove were tougher than you philosophy still alive. Just me, I'd rather get that 1 extra yard to convert than prove who's tougher on one play. I like how we're set up for power, but we also have the ability to use speed to the perimeter if the numbers don't work out for us between the tackles. You can't just put 8 guys in the box on us and hope to beat us on brute strength. [/QUOTE]
