[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 23243, member: 623"] I bet we see more of the Days under center formation if Justin is the starter for goal line situations. I think he will do fine as the starter, he just needs to work his butt off and be ready for the fall. I am going to say this as my opinion, which means little. I think Justin is better suited for the diamond formation than Vad. We need to be able to run and throw out of the same formation, not just one or the other. On run plays the QB has to attack the line, and Vad seemed to hesitant to do it. DEs will show their hand on who they are taking if they are afraid of getting beat. Vad ran hesitantly at the line not forcing the DE to make a quick commitment. If JT attacks the line from the gun, his speed will force the DEs to commit. There is not a DE in the country that can adjust to his shiftiness and speed. When you guys watch the Auburn FSU game watch Nick Marshall. He is slower than JT, but Auburn's gun works in part because of the speed of Marshall, and how they cannot adjust to his speed if he gets the edge. One other thought regarding JT. In the past the common theme for the defense has been to attack and force us to throw. On the edge the safety would quickly fill the ally. If they play JT this way they will eventually get burned. I think he may actually force them to play more conservatively and choose angles to attack instead of just a downhill run blitz. The two most difficult things to scheme against are size, and speed.
