I put my fast WR at QB to run the Flexbone at Indiana, to make up for a lack of talent there. I'm thinking of running formation subs like having teh normal QB in for certain formation. Like if I'm out of the guns I'll use the nomral QB. Does this make sense to do or what?

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
a guy in one of my league runs Wishbone as Kentucky. we are in week 13. He has been struggling all year. The last 3 games he's played a freshman CB at QB and it's done wonders for his offense. Against the CPU it's a little cheap because they do not recognize that you have ZERO throwing threat and will let a Non-QB beat them with his only weapon (his feet). But if a user allows you to win with that style of offense then it's their fault and props to you. -
Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
I actually did this using GT in an offline dynasty. Think of it like a "C-back," hell Synjyn Days played QB and A-back last season, it's entirely plausible. You can then put your starter in the #2 spot and sub out for passing situations, it's very legit!Comment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
I stopped this dynasty because I decided I was not really used to the Flexbone. Now I use Pro Style teams. I guess I just love to pass.

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
I hear that, I am still getting the nuances down, but I have been using the if-then playsheet that Paul Johnson uses, and we ran it in high school, so it's a little more familiar. Football is AWESOME!!!Comment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
Im about to start playing football next year. I didn't play last year. Apparently we only use two formations, the Pistol and Shotgun. I'm not sure if thats because the coaches don't want too much complication or whatever, but it seems kind of basic to me.Comment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
Yea I can tell you for sure that the Shotgun and Pistol make things easier. You get a few more seconds to run the read option, versus immediately getting the snap and having to read the defensive end. We had a ****ty defense, but teams had a very hard time stopping the run, and there were two games we won one year that they didn't call a pass lol..Comment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
Dang that sounds like my high school lol.. Jordan Jenkins, the OLB for Georgia, and LaMichael Fanning for Alabama went there. LaGrange, GA is right above the county there, and that school is always going to the state championship and sending guys to Auburn and ACC schools.. I wish I had stuck with it, but my *** was sore from blocking guys and getting knocked down lolComment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
LOL well I'll try and keep with it man. We have 1 NFL player coming from my school, so there is some talent around here. Who knows, maybe I'll be the next LMFAO. Really my dream is to possibly get a scholarship, but there's always academics if that doesn't work out.Comment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
My brother is an OC for a HS team and he uses two formations.
Trips Left and Trips Right.
They went undefeated last year only to lose in the finals with... if my memory is solid here... a +35 scoring differential.
Sometimes simple is better.Comment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
Wow that's pretty neat. I would say that we can ran Flexbone Normal over 60% of the time, but I was playing guard, so I can't be sure.. thank god we never faced big nose tackles!! Blocking is the reason that I am sticking with this game, I can see where they had the lineman help them: it's very realistic, and I will take the positives any day, it's so much better than 13.Comment

Re: Running a Mixed Set Opinions
Ugh, sorry to be 'that" guy but the National High school Association voted like 46-2 to ban the rule that lets any player be an eligible receiver.have you guys seen this? http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=825031

however
The scheme's creators have since made adjustments and run the new version of the A-11 offense for the entire 2009 season.[9] It now abides by all numbering requirements at every level of football, without any numbers exchanged between plays. The ineligible numbered "anchors," like any ineligible receiver, can neither receive forward passes nor advance downfield before a forward pass is thrown across the line of scrimmage, but can catch lateral and backward passes, take handoffs, advance downfield prior to a screen pass to an eligible receiver, or even throw the ball if it is given to them.[10] Since the adjusted version of the A-11 offense abides by the numbering requirements, it is similar to the older Emory & Henry offense; as such, unlike the previous version, it is legal in most levels of football.
Did you know that or did I waste my time lol.Comment
