Why so much singleback formation?

[VishsSkins]

I think the main problem is our predictability on offense. For example, whenever a receiver motions to one side of the field, we always run to that side.

The reason we use Singleback so much is because Joe Gibbs is our coach. Good enough for me.

Not necessarily. We've been running a lot of that pitch to Portis to the weak side and it seems like he has averaged over 10 yards on those plays.

You might be right about that. But I was talking more about when we line up in single receiver sets. Thats when it seems like we get very predictable as far as motions and run plays.

If I remember right, Gibbs liked using the single back formation so he could have an extra TE to help neutralize players like Lawrence Taylor. In fact wasn't it specifically to give Jacoby help with Taylor?

yeah keeping two TE's is obviously part of 'max protect', i just don't know how much better Royal is at pass protection than Sellers would be from the backfield. i know it would be good to work on, that way we wouldn't be telegraphing RUN the times Sellers IS on the field..
