That is it!!!!!

Bill,

Seems to me with the MOFO sending the TE down the middle and the Mike running with him, ostensibly,
sending a backside receiver, be it a WR or slot guy into the MOF also would cause them problems. When they see that happening they would probably play Man on the backside, I know that is what I would do because if they stay in zone they have a problem in my view. Your opinion?

That is a GOOD way to attack it. Play action isn't bad either (freeze the MLB).

The coverage is big in the NFL right now, but even Tampa Bay plays it less than 50% of the time. The NFL won't let you catch them in something (predictably) if they can help it!

Your sure right about NFL teams not going to get burned by being predictable if they can help it. Coach Easton

The Mike can really jump hard on the Dig. We use it sparingly . . . usually only on longer yardage situations.
