Gibbs carries so many H-Backs that he does not have room for a fullback. the way his offense is with all the movement the h-backs are essentially full backs. There was more of that the couple of games, where the h-back would go in motion and set up in front of Portis. This is used alot because Gibbs has multiple plays from the same formation. It may be a run, pass, toss, screen, play action pass, all from the same set. I like the fact he uses this because when the offense is clicking, which isn't so much right now, teams are confused on what type of play we are running. Since we are making more of an effort to run the ball, this formation will be repeated, all the time. And once we can make yards from runs, either up the middle or on the corners, we will start confusing people in what play is coming.
