[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 183430, member: 2175"] It has been circumspectly referred to before, but we still see a lot of posts about running the same "dive" play up the middle and getting absolutely nothing out of it. The question is always: why? Do something different. And from there the discussion zooms off into new formations, new offenses, new plays, new alignments, just different is all. I have not had much luck pasting in web sites but I will try again. And again, The Birddog, Navy's football blog, and maybe the single best I have ever read on the ins and outs of the spread option and then Navy's derivative, attacks that issue after a big pasting of AF last week, including video of short bursts to show the plays in question. But the coaching crew at Navy gets the same complaints when their guy runs headon into crashing LBs or safeties, yet they send him in again. Why? It is a lesson learned at Johnson's knee: probe the defense, chart their tendencies, see what they are playing, draw the defense inside, and then start working outside. Rinse and repeat. (I know there is the risk in posting this that it will start inquiries about why-can't-we-run-those-formations, but the central issue for it is the Bback up the middle, and this guy is very good.)
