Aaron5 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 With all our running backs in the stable, I've been thinking a lot about having some 2 or 3 back sets to maximize the talent on the field. I say why not have a FOUR back set. Can you imagine Ross, Jackson, Lucky and Glen all on the filed together? It could...er WOULD upen up a lot of flanker screens and under routes out of the Z456 and Q765 allignments. Also if Taylor has any wheels, it virtually leaves him uncovered to execute a variety of bootleg packages. Quote Link to comment
woodchuck Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 dont you have to have 7 on the line? or are you going to put the qb on the line to make 7? Quote Link to comment
huskerlex Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 dont you have to have 7 on the line? or are you going to put the qb on the line to make 7? I like this Aaron guy, but apparently he doesn't know much about football. Probably never played. Quote Link to comment
woodchuck Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 im not sure of what all the rules are so i wont say anything bad about him having penus envy or stuff like that. Quote Link to comment

It just bothers me sometimes when people post even though they've never played the game. They just spread dis-information. Aaron might be one of them. That's one of the reasons I got kicked off of Huskerpedia. I got tired of all the non-football playin' mutha f%&k....rs, you know. Quote Link to comment
woodchuck Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I dont think steve peterson ever played either. so i agree with you, he shouldn't be our athlitic directer cuz he dont know how to judge the coaches. Quote Link to comment
Aaron5 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 lex, have you read the board rules? It seems like you're just attacking me instead of adding something insightful to the thread. BTW, what's wrong with a 4 back set? Callahan/Norvell are some of the most innovative offensive minds in the game today (remember what they did with the Raiders??????). Quote Link to comment

I coached high school for several years, so maybe keep that in mind when addressing me, ok? Quote Link to comment

woodchuck Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 do you believe in an attacking style of defense? How about offense? in other words do you take what you want? Quote Link to comment
BigRedJake Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 How about we talk about what the thread is about? You can't have a 4-back set in football. You have to have 7 men on the line of scrimage. You've got 5 linemen, and either 2 TEs or a TE and a WR or 2 WRs. That leaves only 4 players in the backfield including the quarterback. Aside from the impossiblility of a 4-back set, I really doubt Coach C will even use any 3-back sets. The original WCO was made to work out of only single-back sets and the modern versions, though they aren't only singlebacks anymore, don't usualy use more than 2. Look at some 3-back sets: TE T G C G T TE _____QB _HB_____HB _____FB TE T G C G T TE _____QB _____FB _____HB _____HB The defense is basically forced into putting 8-9 guys in the box, simply because all of your players are there, and is pretty ineffective in any offense other than a power-option.
