[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 740073, member: 959"] I couldn't agree more with your analysis here. We are a Developmental Program which means, be definition, guys get reps. The other thing here I think that is often overlooked is we practice differently as well. We roll guys with different groups all through practice which makes the timing and familiarity stronger up and down the depth chart. No doubt some guys will be tighter with different receivers but that isn't always a bad thing. I know most people are good with down and distance running backs. The same can be, thought not nearly as often, executed anywhere on the field. I think we will see it a lot with TC on the D side too. Dude is going to play anything between Safety and ILB and will see his role change even in series. That said, I hope we are more scripted in our roll out of guys. Check weekly performance in practice, evaluate that against what we game up to exploit the next team's weaknesses and then go from there. What happened some time last season (to my untrained eye at least) was less situation-responsive and more apparent flailing around (with regard to the QB rotation in the first half of the year). The final point I want to make is that managing the QBs is going to require clear and consistent communication through execution about play time opportunities and how the staff is deciding who gets game snaps. I wouldn't be shocked to see one, if not two more guys go the TO route if they understand their deficient in a skill the staff requires for QB1, and they still want to make an impact on the team. We have had more guys switching sides of the ball and position groups than I recall every before and a lot has to do with the competition is king mantra. If you play your way above the line, then you WILL get snaps and a chance to earn more time under the lights. Switching roles on this team is not an admission of weakness, but embracing the team first and making a bet on your own athletic ability to make an impact somewhere more valuable to the team.
