Eric Bieniemy said that he got the winning play for the Chiefs from "old Rose Bowl footage":
It's the same Rose Bowl, (1/1/48) I've often link on this board to support my point that the more people you have in your backfield, the more versatile your running game can be:
1948 Rose Bowl: Michigan 49 USC 0
I'm not saying that we should all got back to the four back single wing but strategies in football tend to by cyclical. The key thing is to run something the defense isn't built to defend against. I'm all for coaches looking at old to film to see what modern defenses might not be ready for. And I find the single running back or empty backfield much more limited strategically than what we see in the above clip. You can always set up in one formation and shift into something very different.
