[QUOTE="steebu, post: 897559, member: 740"] Here's the play in question: [MEDIA=youtube]cwTxLeaY__g:92[/MEDIA] I obviously don't know the specifics of how/why it was implemented, but it's supposed to look like this: [MEDIA=youtube]xpMK89EQjeQ:1437[/MEDIA] So it's basically the same play - yes, there's nuance like the pulling guard, but here's where CPJ's acumen as a playcaller comes in. The previous 3 plays were Rocket Toss, Zone Dive, Rocket Toss, then this belly dive. I believe we had run Rocket Toss on two other plays during the drive, so [B][I]the outside defenders are starting to key on the toss[/I][/B]. If you watch the replay carefully, both the playside CB and OLB jump to the outside to take away the toss, leaving Laskey a clear path to the end zone. In fact, it worked so perfectly that poor Shaq Mason (#70) had no one to block and just jogged into the end zone with Laskey. The head scratcher to me is we never showed this formation the entire game, never ran a toss ... so what are you hoping to accomplish here? This isn't NCAA 14 The Video Game where randomly calling plays works ... you call plays to set up other plays, the most basic example being you run to set up play action. If you watch the replay, nobody on the defense shifts, nobody gets out of position, nobody does anything to indicate that they were fooled by the tail motion or the reverse pivot by Sims. So ... why? The cynic in me will say CGC reads these boards and saw the thread, "[URL='https://gtswarm.com/threads/the-reports-of-the-tos-death-have-been-grossly-exaggerated.25631/']The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated[/URL]" and told Chip Long, "Hey, we need to run something that looks like Paul Johnson's old offense to satisfy the option nerds.
