Recently I made a comment about QB Colin Kaepernick and the Pistol Formation that he ran at Nevada. I think this is the formation we should use even with Garrard at QB this coming year.
I have always believed that the closer to the line of scrimmage the hand off is made to the RB the more success the run will be. Like the quick opener or quick count. For several years I have seen the Jags run for one yard after the QB goes back to the RB to hand it off. In the stands everyone knows, OK this will be for one yard.
I believe that on running plays the initial block of the OL is where you can do something, not after one or two seconds of trying to hold that block. When will we ever learn. Some things do not work and to me are a waste of a play. I hate it and we have to change and throw out plays like that no matter what they think it does for setting up something else. A play wasted is a play wasted simple as that.
Think of it the “hurry up offense” and the “no huddle” is also popular and the fans always say why not do that earlier in the game. OK maybe we can’t do it for the whole game but a modified version of it from the “pistol” maybe something we can incorporate.
I even like the Steelers version better if the QB is tall. It's closer to the line like the formation calls for 3 to 4 yards deep.
By the way I suggest that the Jags draft Colin Kaepernick in the later rounds if available. He fits the bill on big tall QB's that teams have had success with.
you want the guy thats getting paid millions of dollars for his arm to run the ball into faster and bigger defenders??
ReplyDeletethats why it doesnt work in the nfl
the hurry up works half the time but the fans only see the ones that are successful because thats what highlights consist of
What would you suggest? What we are doing is not working. Reference to the 1 yard on first downs. Everyone knows what we will run. Why not give them more to think of? thanks for comment.
