I wouldn't call our run game in 2012 physical. It was very effective but it's not like we were pounding the ball between the tackles early in the game

Having linemen left over from a pro style offense and excellent blocking WRs also helped a ton

In almost every game in 2012, the FIRST play was a QB tackle run up the left side.

Once that play happened, we'd run Malena inside before some quick hit pass plays.

Near the goal-line, most of the rushing TDs were either a Michael center dive or a Malena inside sweep.

Awesome responses without a single flame in the thread. This has to be some type of record. At any rate, I'll play a bit of the Devil's Advocate here...

In a gap-run system mixed with Spread Sets on the Offensive Line, it seems that you'd signal your run/pass playcall intent much more often than what you've been doing before now in the run game.

What I mean by this is the 3 point stance being used by the interior on these plays much more often. Using that technique in run situations will make the presnap read significantly more consistently accurate on the part of the DC in the Box and the Mike on the Field. I'm really interested to see how you adjust the play of the line and the fundamentals of the spread sets the line uses when passing to stance used in gap runs.

On paper its intriguing. In the real world, I want to see it work. It seems to me that once you're about a quarter of the way into the schedule, there may be some dropoff once there's enough tape to show those subtleties to a Defensive Coordinator.

I wonder if Spavital will be able to use his packaged play concepts with both a run/pass option based on the QB presnap read or check-with-me as much as he has traditionally in the past? The melding of the blocking schemes seems like it will really require some creativity to accomplish that.
