I still think they'd blow quarterbacks up because once you're a runner you're a runner, but who knows.
When the Bills run zone from the gun, Fitz carries out the entire play, he follows through with a run after handing off. Problem is he never reads the backside end to make a decision, so the end crashes down and doesn't respect it at all even though Fitz follows through with the play and shows that he can be a run threat.
When the Jets had Brad Smith and ran some option stuff, Smith never read the end, never made the correct read on the end, it was just a play they ran. So while they pretended to run some triple option, it was just a speed option, D never had to account for the first option/dive, it was always the speed option.
I think a lot of the college stuff can translate into the NFL, especially what Clemson and Auburn do, no question I think it will work and you would mind fuck some coordinators in this league.
Lets look at the wildcat, for a season it was pretty effective for the team that first implemented it. Simple wing football from the 60s and these guys couldn't stop it. Three plays were run out of that formation, power run, zone run, and a counter run, but the Jet runner was threat on only two of the three. Once in a blue moon the Phins would throw it.
Now lets say you bring in all the counters and passing/run options that Malzahn uses to his "original," depending on who you ask (Lee would disagree), wildcat idea. Pretty deadly combination especially with a talent QB such as Newton.
Read an interesting interview, NYT, with Mike Pettine, who felt that some of the college stuff would give DCs in the NFL nightmares. Wonder what Monte Kiffin has to say on the subject as well.
Personally I feel there's too much rehash in the NFL, same guys bouncing around from team to team. If some team were to hire Mike Leach the media would dismiss it, blah blah blah this shit won't work in the NFL blah blah blah, meanwhile the Pats run shallow crossing routes aka mesh all game long, and the Saints run 4 Vertical Texas Tech style as much as they can.
Apologies for the long post, but I felt I had to say my piece.

I appreciate that long post. I had read that NYT article (I think it was posted here by someone), but I really wonder what would happen to the QB. It's one thing to bring in a specialist, but another to expose your $20 mill/yr man to those hits. Unless he can't be hit by rule
I feel the same way on the re-treads. I think the NFL got gun shy after a few high profile college guys flamed out. I also can't stand coaches who are obsessed with playing veterans, but I've said my piece on that.
I hope the Rams are bold this offseason. Hiring Fisher or Cowher or Gruden is not the answer.

Tabris is like that little girl who adopts all the cats she sees when walking home.

Tabris said:I started watching football 7 years ago (don't blame me for this, I'm Canadian, it doesn't come naturally to watch football).
I was memorized by one man, this guy (isn't he dreamy?)...
and I decided that's my team... and thus a hate began for this guy (isn't he ugly) as he was trying to bring dreamy Peyton down...
When I found out there was a brother and he was championing this amazing beat the shit out of you hard nosed team and that he was on a collision course with the enemy for Superbowl, this team became my second team (even though no one else I knew believed in them):
And I was set on my teams. But as I started to watch football more and more (Sunday ticket, every game), in 2009-2010, I started watching this amazing team that beat the shit out of you more than that 07-08 Giants and they fascinated me, so I made a pact with Ray Lewis that I would cheer them on as long as they didn't play my Giants or Colts:
WTF this is almost like my story. I am also Canadian and I cheer for the exact same teams. WTF?!!!!

ugh. Tabris, you may be a Canucks fan but you have no taste in NFL teams. Better stick to the BC Lions for now; at least they will probably play for the Grey Cup at home this year.

It's going to be a moneymaking machine! It will be the ultimate mix of Glee/Modern Family/The Brady Bunch/Friends/iCarly. With Tom and Peyton making an webcast named iTommy, in which it becomes way to obvious Tom is in love with him, but Peyton is not interested, because Peyton is in love with Steve UperBowl II. With Eli in the staring at Tom with a really creepy look on his face, which leads to hilarious situations.
Co-starring The Sanchize as the annoying little neighbor with Rex playing his father, Belichick as Brady his dad who constantly argues with Rex about their gardens ("Get off my lawn" - an angry Belichick yells to Rex who's 35th chin is hanging over the fence).
Meanwhile Chad Ochocinco is the friendly street bum, who's isn't needed anywhere but for some strange reason still hangs around.

What?
I have no idea what he is talking about, but I propose we bring Mitch Berger back.DeaconKnowledge said:
With him we had one of the greatest defenses of all time and won every single close game we played in 2008, including the Superbowl. We cut him and since then it has been all downhill with our defense sucking against even average quarterbacks and now our offense watches the defense lose more close games than we win. Clearly he was the MVP of that team and we need to bring him back. It is going to be tough but I think Tomlin and co. can make him an offer to quit his day job as a substitute teacher.

Yeah it hurts, but at least the Steelers are built to go back to their championship in the next 20 years.Tabris said:Not my team but bringing up that painful image deserves an equally painful image:

See now its not going to be funny.The Frankman said:
It has to do with the Evangelion manga done by Sadamoto. The angel Tiberus(Kaworu) isn't eactly one for picking up cats and adopting them. In fact he strangles it in a rather graphic manner right in front of Shinji. He is the last person who would pick up cats. I think its around Stage 56-57 in the manga.darkside31337 said:

... I have no idea what the Hell that joke meant. And to think I petitioned for that...
Actually it's funny because in the baseball thread there are at least 5-6 well-known anime fans who he says nothing about.
No, enzark think I have this obsession with anime when I have an obsession with using anime to piss off people intolerant of it. You'll hardly ever see me in an anime thread.

...eh, 4/10.
Now if you made a joke tying in Tom Brady and Krakens, that would've been awesome.
