[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 896333, member: 766"] So awesome. Thanks. You're spot on: the question is whether the TO is positionally sound. I feel like it is; CPJ always seemed to find a way to put more Jimmy's at the point of attack than they had Joe's. The other question is that of "style". Are you an attacking player or do you prefer quiet positional games? And here's the rub: I think some fans want to see a QB slinging the ball all over the field on every play. Others prefer three...okay, make that five yards in a cloud of dust. But interestingly, the TO allowed Tech to what? Lead the nation in long plays from scrimmage? I forget exactly what that stat was, but the D never knew when we were going to rip off a 65-yd RUN or even throw one over the top when the backs had drawn up too close in run support. And watching the QB make a last second pitch to a back who went virtually untouched into the end zone? Magic. At the end of the day, the TO is both unorthodox (providing an edge) and positionally sound (meaning it's playable). So, have we checkmated the haters? ;) [/QUOTE]
