i have this feeling...

[tarheelpride]

why do i get the feeling that we will come out slinging the ball through the air vs. arizona?

and will this even be a good idea to start out the game?

[MorgulKing]

That'd a be a great way to stretch the Arizona D and catch them by surprise. Then run the ball into the ground after they're scrambling to defend our receivers.

first play will be a pass. Ariz will be stacking the box, we could get a huge play with a play-action pass.

Or possibly a flea-flicker type play.

I don't know if Davidson scripts the first 15 or 20 plays like some teams do. It would be a good question to ask.

From what I understand we have a specific set and a certain play called but we can audibalize into a run or pass option off that set. So much of whether we run or pass will come down to the defensive setup. If they stack the box, I expect us to come out passing. If the corners play off the receivers expect a few smoke routes early. If they play tight bump and run coverage expect a few plays deep to Smitty or Moose depending on who is in single coverage. Or we run to the outside since the corners will be occupied by the receivers who can more easily block them since they are right there with them.

Jake does a good job of taking what the defense gives them. I expect they will put at least 7 if not 8 in the box and play single on Moose and put a safety on top for Smitty while gambling on first or second down that we will run by dropping the safety down in the box at the snap.

SO I would be surprised if they run or throw regardless of the defense but run or throw depending on the defense.

i think it could make us more dangerous. but the risk in that is a sack or a turnover. the reward is having smitty running wide open and delhomme throws him a perfect pass.

Should start very similar to the NO game - couple of passes to 87 and then run, and then go deep to 89 on first down!

[Woodcookedbbq]

I say flea flicker on the first play

[Fan4life]

We are going to smack Arizona in the fuging mouth.

[Sword]

If they try to do what denver did and stack the box with LBs..then yes we will throw all over them and go no huddle to make them pay for even trying it..

[HeatCheck]

I don't see it happening, we need to stick with what got us here.

Even if they do script the 1st plays, they weren't afraid to make changes against the Broncos on the 2nd play of the game and that is a good sign. :coolgleamA:

[KintnerBoy]

Yeah, I see that happening.

I would love to see us include the TE in the passing game during the playoffs. Does anyone have a theory as to why we are so reluctant to use the TE in our passing game while other teams use theirs effectively against us? We've only had one scoring pass to the TE all year (the first game against the Chargers). In our offense, the TE is just like another OL, but King does a decent job catching passes as well, though he's not much of a YAC guy. On the other hand, Rosario and Barnidge are very good pass recievers that could really give opposing defenses something to think about and make it more difficult to stack the box IMO. I wonder why Fox won't allow Davidson to use the TEs more in the offensive gameplanning?:confused:

Get Smith involved early

In the slot, screens, curls, slants... watever
