Message: [QUOTE="money3189, post: 3815520, member: 436"] It’s not just about the performance of players. Formations and personnel dictates defensive alignments. It allows you to run certain things in your scheme. For example, a TE gives you the ability to run a variety of run plays. You can run to or away from the TE based on how the defense aligns. You can run counter, power, inside/outside zone to or away from the TE. You can run counter with the TE as the second puller . You can’t run those plays with a another running back. Having two running backs in a spread scheme limits the type of run plays you can run. I guess doing it some times won’t hurt but I don’t see how it benefits a team long term. More spread teams would be running 2 RB sets if it was something worth doing. Bottom line, you need to run a different system if you want multiple runners in the backfield. [/QUOTE]
