[QUOTE="stylee, post: 89314, member: 882"] Same reason that you instinctively put at least one hand on the ground if you've got to run fast: lower center of gravity allows for faster takeoffs, as you can use gravity to your advantage to build momentum. We like to get into the hole quicker, so that we can get our guys into the second level faster. It primarily helps, though, in making the defensive end decide more quickly - he can't "slow play" it. A lot of option teams run this stuff with stand-up backs. They even run the veer. You can see this from the shotgun. When you do it like this, though, you've got to bend the back's path closer to the center and away from the defensive end (to make him travel farther to stop the dive and negate the problem of the slower dive). I did it like this when I coached a shotgun option team. It can work. I don't like it from under center. When I went to a pistol flexbone, I experimented with the BB standing up. I hated it. [/QUOTE]
