Wishbone formation

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.

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
