Coaches,
We run a multi formation spread offense. We were thinking about installing the mid line. The reason for this being that it seems to marry up with a one back scheme and an offense that uses wider splits any way. I'd love to hear anyones opinion on this matter.

What are your base plays?
Are you zoning things? Running counter gt?
Are you thinking of running true midline blocking rules? or zoning it up front and then calling it give or keep? Who do you plan to be the lead back through for the qb, or do you plan to have a pitch man?

If you only have two blockers past the center (guard and tackle) you can only run midline against certain defenses.

I have been toying with the idea of this type of look but was afraid the close fb would give the play away.

QB reverse handoff to FB. OUR BEST PLAY. IT HITS THE HOLE QUICK. and you do not need great blocking for it to execute.
