[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 163142, member: 1069"] I think defenses have gotten disproportionately better at defending the rocket toss than other aspects of the offense. From the stands, it always looks to me like the AB runs a different motion when the toss is on versus when an option play is on. The AB's orbit is wider than normal. As for running left vs right, I think its more natural for a righrhanded QB to pivot right than left. So, all else equal a run right is preferred. As others have noted, it is difficult to stack the defense to the right as a counter because it allows the offense to gain a numbers advantage on the left. The QB can swap the play from right to left with audible at the LOS so setting the defense up unbalanced is just asking for trouble. You might try to get cute and show unbalanced and then roll to the opposite at the snap, but that leaves you vulnerable to counters and runs the risk that you can't get to the other side fast enough. From what I've seen, CPJ has no problems calling plays to the boundary. The defense likes to use the sideline as an extra defender, so it can force the play to the sideline via pre-snap alignment. When the offense is set up on the hash, the unbalanced defense isn't as risky since there's less room to defend on the boundary side. I would not be surprised if plays to the boundary were more common than plays to the field simply because defenses are looking to restrict the offense's room. I too am curious to see what impact Skov has as a former traditional fullback. The best case scenario is that he forces the defense to commit both a lineman and a linebacker to dive play. I don't expect that Skov has the speed or agility to be an open field threat (otherwise he would have a tailback). I do expect he'll pretty fast through the mesh and the line. I also expect he'll have some pile pushing capability. He might be a decent pass blocker too. [/QUOTE]
