Why can't the RB go under center for the play?

Is their a Rb able to take a QB snap, that you trust?? Its one of things that even most college QBs have to learn entering the NFL..

I just got a new idea- Young in shotgun, hike, Derrick brown tosses him over the LOS. 103% success rate guaranteed..

Yeah if they know they are taking the ball and just falling forward the snap shouldn't be too bad.  QBs get caught trying to read the defense while taking the snap which can be difficult.  

Anther idea is Young gets a piggyback ride on Bozeman for the yard!

Pretty much. The play is “can your center push a yard” doesn’t really matter who takes the snap.

The problem with this is you will then be asking your RB to do something he isn't used to doing and that is taking a snap under center.

There was a good bit of talk about this pre-draft and one of the things most people were assumed to understand that's a play we would not be seeing much if at all. I mean honestly I didn't want to see us putting either of the QB's we were considering at 1 in harms way after what happened to Cam. But Bryce Young? That's a big negatory. And with the state of our offense and our lack of power back you have to wonder what this staff is and was thinking when they selected him and figured a backfield of Sanders and Chuba was perfecto. We know for sure Reich is big on the QB sneak in his playbook. I guess we'll see if they get it figured out.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
