Counter Trey

Lol, wow! This is the bump to end all bumps.

Yeah!! I know DB. I don't know why I even bothered to revisit this thread. I just found it rather odd that RP had the entire line rearranged, including Grimm and May. The only player on that line he had positioned correctly was Bostic.

Just for the record RP the tackles go in reverse order. G. Stark was a L/T and J. Jacoby was a R/T.....not that it really matters now.Actually, Jacoby was the Skins starting LT at the beginning of Gibbs 1.0, until the Skins acquired Jim Lachey in the Jay Schroeder trade before the '88 season. Only then did Jacoby move over to RT. George Starke was the starting RT in Gibbs' first few seasons, and he was the first of the Hogs to be replaced.

If we're talking about the origional Hogs: Starke/May/Bostic/Grimm/Jacoby from left to right.

If we're talking about the origional Hogs: Starke/May/Bostic/Grimm/Jacoby from left to right.All I know is, Big Jake started at LT in Super Bowls XVII and XVIII and Starke started at RT. Grimm started at LG in both. Jacoby and Grimm pulling on the counter trey is the quintessential Hogs play in my mind.

Dumping a thread this old makes me wonder how big TWP's database is...

Correct.

I thought this would be a thread about Shanny using the play.

He may actually even if he doesn't call it the CT, he loves the pulling linemen.

Coach Shanahan HAD the Counter in his Denver playbook. How much he uses it with Skins remains to be seen.
