4 WR or 5 WR Set ?!?

[SKINSnCANES]

Gibbs, Portis, Coles, our draft pick... Lets get ready for the playoffs.

F#$% the 4 and 5 wide sets. Lets get back to basics. :headbange

I tend to agree with Carnage here.

A 5-wide set is not all that different from what TOBC was running here and it looks to me like the OL is pretty much the same as the one TOBC had last season and that OL almost got Ramsey killed.

Maybe you run it once a game just to make the other guy practice against it, but let's try to find ways to keep the QB (Brunell or Ramsey, I don't really care all that much) vertical and in a throwing motion...

there will be a big difference if we see it, the defense won't know it's coming ala SS, every team knew what we were going to do, so they were able to gear up for it, the idea of a 4 or 5 reciever set is to catch the D unmanned to cover it, which like any play can work if you can set the D up for it, that's another thing that made gibb's what he is today, play calling! knowing when to use a certain play and vise versa, the key is to make whatever play you run work, out thinking your opponent, that's how the old sucker play came about, if someone told you that you were going to run a running play right at an unblocked guard you would say that's crazy! but if you have him set up to follow your pulling guard it's a brillant play, anything can work with the right coach at the right time.
