[QUOTE="pyledriver80, post: 94301, member: 194"] [b]Re: [DEBATE] Thompson Vs ... (Overall impressions of TT/MM/etc.)[/b] I missed this question, sorry about that AADP. It is similar to what I had happen this year. My line last years was the bright spot and I had beef all along it. This years class has absolutely NOONE with any size. I remember thinking to myself "what am I going to do" I really had little to work with. I remember walking up to the athletic director right after we had broke conditioning and we were discussing the team. He made the comment "I don't think you guys are going to do to well this year because of you have no size." I greatly respected the guys opinion and he had had tons more experience than myself. That bothered me greatly so I set up an meeting with my assisstant coaches the same night. We devised a gameplan of quick passes to the flats, slants, bootlegs, rollouts, WR screens,etc. Whatever it is its going to happen fast because our O-line just doesn't give the QB much time. I think we have ran the ball up the middle a total of 11 times in 4 games. We run off tackle quite a bit and sweep on a regular basis.We basically run the ball through the air, as strange as it sounds. As of today, I think our FB is leading the team in recieving or is very close. It is similar to the Ol' Packers sweep where the HB either had the option to go inside or outside the tackle. It's up to the HB to read what the playside DE and CB do. It has been pretty effective. We actually scored on our very first play of the year on a 65 yard FB pass. We won 22-0 on opening night, 20-7 the following week but than we ran into a team that was very good. We lost 36-14.
