Scout Team Offense

There would be some potential safety issues. We did play 8 on 7 sometimes in practice so the offensive linemen could practice working up to safeties....

for option based run blocking or really anything with a read, it would probably be counterproductive. you could make the right read and be punished.

one common tactic is to script where the scout team lines up and goes, so they give a "faster" look than someone who is reading the play.

Yes for a safety. But even AJ gives up a lot of size, height and weight, to the typical TEs we face.

But don't most defenses have matchup problems with TE's? Unless you have a mammoth LB who's really fast and agile.... there are some out there, but not a ton.

AJ has good size and speed.

AJ's speed hasn't really shown up this year - particularly with all the preseason hype by PJ himself. He has played well in spurts, but he is not playing anywhere close to a special player at safety. I wonder what has happened? Is it just a slump? scheme? It is puzzling. Meanwhile, Corey Griffin has played well despite my misgivings.

I second that. Corey Griffin plays like he relishes contact and enjoys playing FB. He really sticks out imo. He is one of the few aggressors on the D side of the ball.
