[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 27426, member: 623"] I think we will have more attempts, and a higher completion % in 2014. For much of the 2013 season our RT position was not able to pass block effectively to allow the throws we wanted to make develop. Vad was finally able to learn to check down which likely accounts for the higher number of short yardage completions. To pass, you must first be able to block. I will admit that while I like the flexbone, the wide splits make pass blocking more challenging. I can understand the element of suprise if we throw on 2nd and short, but on 3rd and 10, we might as well fall back to a more conventional pass alignment, and give JT the option to get the first with his arm or his legs. Most people do not appreciate the mental toughness it takes to play the QB position at a high level. Very few college QBs can do well when running for their life. Manziel was probably the best at it.
