"all those scenarios" is 1-2 plays a game? OK then if that's complicated,I guess it's complicated

It's really not. Wasn’t last year, shouldn't be this year either.

It's really one scenario.... when the play calls for a FB... then the FB goes in.

Bark Calc MJ Ceedee Duece, or any other guy with a nickname doesn't really matter.

We’ll have Adoree and Ricks backing things up at CB. Is everybody decent about that situation right now?

Strong S room…just would believe plenty of three S packages will be utilized regardless.

Kyle Hamilton at 11 and Jalen Carter at 12 is interesting. Really this whole list of under 25ers is interesting.

Brian Thomas at 9

I'm not, what is complicated about him possibly blocking for Calc if Goedert goes down? I don't see any tough words in there? Why is this "complicated" ?

Have you looked at Calcaterra blocking videos and BVS blocking videos and compared the quality of each player’s blocking? It may surprise you.

I have been a BVS fan from the start, as well as a Covey fan. However, both of them suffer from the same flaw, they really don’t have a regular position on the Offense or Defense where they excel. Their STs contributions can’t be denied, but on a team with as loaded a roster as this one is, that probably isn’t enough. For example, if you had to choose between BVS and Montrell as the fourth RB/FB, which player would you choose?

My gut says that Avery Williams is in the same bind. The players he is competing with for returner duties all have clear Offense or Defense value. Depending on what injuries happen in Training Camp, I can see him on the Practice Squad in Week One.

@cunninghamtheman i agree with you that DeJean is a good punt returner, but I don’t think they will risk him getting injured. He is too valuable as a CB.

Yes. And good with giving Ringo the opportunity to Starr.

Why can't a play be called for the FB to run ahead of the TE(as the TE takes 3 steps back AS I DID) as an added blocker? Just can't be called? Works like a screen play IDK why this is so hard to fathom because we ran this play in HS LOL

The Eagles ran lots of TE "move” plays when Calcaterra was on the field. His blocking assignment was typically the far side DE using a WHAM block. Rarely, if ever, did he go through the "hole” as a lead blocker for the RB.

He can be a lead blocker for a TE(I already explained it in a past post), I know because I RAN THE PLAY in HS Stop it. My god this board is becoming a grade school playground. Don't tell me what plays I DID NOT run in HS(yes we had a FB)

That 1 room schoolhouse had a football team?

Sorry, i couldn't resist

You ran a play where the FB blocks for the TE on a handoff?

And why does Goedert need to be out for this to happen? Does it matter who plays TE when we use the FB?

I am the TE. There is a FB in the backfield. The ball is snapped, the Qb goes on a 5 or 7 step drop. AS a TE I take a 3-4 step drop back. The QB rolls out and throws me the ball(we used to do it across the opposite side of the field) Meantime the FB runs either towards the sideline(scenario1) or depending on the call between the T and G. I catch the ball and now the FULLBACK is my lead blocker(as a TE with the ball) It's a variation of a screen, It's harder to explain than it is to run ,it's a very simple play Now as the TE I have the ball with the FB doing a lead block. This can also be used as a decoy play if you want to do something else with it. It's not complicated at all

In this scenario... does it matter who plays TE? BVS can only run this play with "Calc" but not Goedert?

I the above diagram the QB would roll to his right right. IDK why everyone is making a huge stink about this,it's a very simple play to run IF IF IF IF GOEDERT was OUT(as in "down" Injured"."out", "getting married" whatever!)

Why can't the FB run this play with Goedert at TE?

Now you have BVS running a LEAD BLOCK for CALCATERRA

But he couldn't be a lead blocker for Goedert?

2 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:

Never said he couldn't. This BADGERING from you began when I said it could be a plan B if Goedert went down(because he doesn't have Goederts skill set). Then you said the FB only blocks for the RB. So do whatever you want!!! I'll keep it simple, I don't care either way. All you had to do is say "Yeah we could so this with Goedert too",but that would be too easy

I asked like 5 times why does it matter who plays TE when talking about a FB? Not about any specific play call. The idea is BVS would play FB...I don't understand why " Calc" and Goedert came into the conversation?

I mean...can we run a WR screen with BVS as the lead blocker...does it matter who is the WR? Isn't it the same idea at TE? That's why I was trying to ask 5 times why " if Goedert is out" matters?

So just to be clear... we agree it's simple and. Not complicated... that there is no difference in plays involving a FB... between these two groups... and if BVS makes the team as the FB, that he can play in both?

FB

Rb = Barkley

WR = AJ

WR = Smith

TE = Goedert

Or

FB

RB = Barkley

WR = AJ

WR = Smith

TE = Calc

Sure and "just to be clear" you are showing teams this play when you don't need to. Use WHOEVER THE HELL YOU WANT. Use it on 1st and 2nd downs every game, run it into the ground, so there is no element of surprise or a little crutch for Calcaterra if Goedert was to miss time in a key game. In fact put this play on the net with red arrows and banners, so every team will know we are going to run this on them, so they can be ready. The Philly Special worked and we can use alot of different players to run that too 2-3 times a game. Let's do it. We can even use QB 3 so they know it's a surprise play coming. Done with this.

I'm not worried about " a play" the conversation started about who makes the team. And the subject of using a FB. That's where BVS would play on offense. I just wanted to be clear, BVS would make the team and play FB regardless of who we had at TE

That's the simple issue I was talking about the whole time. Whatever your play is and issue you have about " showing " it too much... that's a conversation that doesn't involve me at all.

Turns out that quote from the OL we signed that played with the Dolphins.... that was all BS.. lol. Fake news!

Why show all your cards at once? It was simply a play to use if Goedert went out as a tactical play, if we were in a bind and needed a key play. I don't care run it 2/3 downs if you want. The Philly special worked, maybe we should use that 2-3 times a game

Have you been watching our O scheme and playcalls the last four seasons? Both HC share aggressive traits. But our trick plays under this regime only went as far as lining up for a Brotherly Shove..but passing it. The other was when everything demands Siri to force ATL week two into expending all their TOs…before the actual play came where ATL could no longer stop the clock. Siri tricked everybody calling a toss to Barkley and icing the game. Aggressive playcall…the play also was very open to be made. It being so wide open was not due to the fact…..no way should we ever have considered passing at all right then. Had to run…everybody knew it…yet nobody believed ATL could have ever even stopped us from running that clock right out. No more points needed …or should have even been in consideration. Does calling such a bone headed playcall count as a trick play?

That was Pedey and something completely different going on. Just year five getting into now for Siri. Year four we got Playaction installed very nicely. Couple more years and maybe we’ll get a decent compliment of the actual just basic normal plays installed in this O. Probably should just stick to working on the fundamental basic plays before getting into experimental O development ideas. Who in this organization are you counting on to deliver any differing O brilliance?

Top rushing team whole time under Siri…took four years….well four years wouldn’t have even been enough….took those…but mostly took hiring a qualified O mind, in Moore, just to think up the brilliance of maybe we should destroy opponents with Playaction.
