Since the coaches want to get the offense into the "pistol" formation, I would like to see the Maryland I formation used also on running plays. But I've never seen a play in the NFL in which there are 3 running backs in the backfield behind the QB. Still, I think it would be an interesting wrinkle since the pistol formation has been used so much this season.
