Wishbone formation

Recommended Posts

it was cool seeing us line up with all of our backs on the field at the same time. it got us a few yards and i can see how this could be hell for opposing defenses. i think we only ran a play with it twice last game right? seems like something we might want to throw in a bit more to see how it works.

It was also cool seeing Cam line up at WR and then going under center.....not sure the purpose though.

There is probably an option before Cams motion given the right look. Plus I would think at least 2 after motion one being a snap and run to D-Will right after Can starts to move (set up by the play we ran and hoping to have the D think "We can chill until Cam is back under center") and one being Cam just running past the line and D-Will takes the snap and rund the other way.

But I just guessing, it could be absolutly no point but to hope to confuse.

I would just like to see a run out of the I-formation. I think we lined up in it once and it was a play-action. Cut down the amount of option plays, teams are obviously ready for it this year and defend it well almost every play.

I disagree, the option worked really well as long as we used the first/dive option. Going outside was less successful but you have to do that to set up the inside run.

I agree and thought the formation is basically the read option on crack.

If Armanti lead Smitty just a little bit on his pass, it would have been a score and nice TD.

Anyone remember Cam's 28 yard reception last year? Bring back that play.

Nanee is gone though, and I don´t think we can fool anyone with Armanti everybody knows he is really a QB.

It would have also helped if the CB didn't trip Smith.

After re-watching the game, I see Chud has added a new wrinkle to the read-option. He ran it twice from a unbalanced line. The first time was on Cam's long run to the left, which was to the weak side, and because of the defensive line shift it was successful. The second time the Falcons was prepared and didn't shift.

I also noticed that Chud was trying trick plays from under center as well, which killed a drive.

    • I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.
    • Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
