Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 5150260, member: 6535"] Our depth of weapons on offense gives us a lot of options to be creative. Getting Willis and Allen on the field together in a package with some wrinkles is definitely one of them. Another interesting wrinkle out of a 2RB personnel group is starting with 22 personnel and motioning both RB out wide, which should make some defenses move LBs into the flats. Then motion Villari into the backfield, and quickly snap the ball for a handoff to Villari against a defense that likely doesn't have much in the way of size still in the middle of the field. You would also want to have lots of if/then variations on this, and show the motion early in the game without necessarily taking advantage of what they do. Now you know how they will respond to that personnel and motion, and you have a couple plays up your sleeve for key third downs and late game situations. I'd also like to see us put Gadsden and Villari on the field together sometimes with either an empty backfield one a single back, and I'd like to see Villari run the occasional jet sweep out of that formation - to set up the even more occasional fake jet sweep TE pass, and perhaps even the fake jet sweep flea flicker. You'd have Zeed streaking down the left sideline, Villari taking a jet sweep to the right side, and Gadsden as a blocker on the right side. On the TE pass variation, OG would release and run a short out route for an easy completion. On the flea flicker, Villari throws it back to McCord for the bomb over the top to Zeed. After throwing the flea flicker, Villari could head to the middle of the field as a second option that may get lost underneath for an easy big game. You could also start with Zeed on the right side for the reverse off the jet sweep. Big question mark is whether the OL can hold up long enough, but I think when you have a weapon as versatile as Villari, you should at least have a few variations on a standard play that use his various weapons - then pull them out when needed in a high leverage spot in an important game.
