Is there a wrinkle in our offense?

Do we have a player we could put in the offense that might be a wrinkle? Someone who could come in at a different position? For a trick play? Is it Suh?

Sorry about multiple posts...the brain is working overtime on this stuff.

 
Well, it was Suh last year, so I'm not sure how much of a "trick" it would be this year....but it is fun to see him line up at fullback anyway!

 
There are a lot of options for this I think. Anybody who is really athletic in one shape or form could do something interesting for us.

 
Though Mendoza is now back at HB I could definitely still see him running routes out of the slot a bit.

One wrinkle to look for this year though is the TE's like Reed and Cotton maybe coming out of the backfield in passing routes. That could be interesting.

Good point. I forgot they have been saying that Reed could maybe get down as a fullback. That would be extremely interesting. And I think Mendoza, with his WR knowledge from this year, could make an impact in the passing game.

 
I think a Wildcat with Rex Burkhead might not be out of the question... Rex did play a little bit of QB as a Jr. in HS.

 
I've always wondered if a 2-QB formation would work. I've never seen anyone actually try it the way I'm imagining it, but I dreamed it up back when we had Crouch and Lord. Basically they would both be in shotgun position (possibly with a RB as well) and the snap could go to either player. Could throw the defense off, maybe with Lee and Washington. Lot's of creative plays.

 
I haven't heard much about him but a lot could be done with Taylor Martinez. We all know how athletic he is. Could be useful for the Joker.

What about the "Wild Ducky Formation"?

 
no way, i hate that formation....the onel listed in that guys sig. Missouri ran something like that against OU in the championship game and I cannot stand that. I don't like it at all. Reminds me too much of a street football game.

Did they have a DT at QB, though? :laughpound

I think the 2 QB look is a specialty of the A11 offense that HS in CA runs. I heard that HS rules are being changed because of it though.

I always kinda wondered why we never utilized something like that with Frazier and Berringer as well. Though Nebraska did run a Double QB Offense under Bill Jennings. He called it the Tandem T offense... didn't work so well.
