2-Deep Released : Lets Obsess unhealthily about it

It just occurred to me that Edsall gave us a two RB starting line-up with only two receivers. It will be interesting to see if we actually use this old fashioned look.

Brewton as a receiver out of the backfield? Burns as a fullback?

My read: it is nice but tells us very little. RE has lineman move around and swing - he doesn't necessarily put the 2nd string guy at that position in. The ORs are classic RE - not giving away anything. Unless he is hurt, you will see McCarthy. Also, since it will be the first game and hot in Fresno, you will see 1st, 2nd and maybe even 3rd string guys to beat the heat and get acclamated to playing.
Also, when have we played 2 different half backs in an offense that doesn't even feature a fullback?

Adds to the intrigue- after 650 plus days - what's a few more!!

I don't remember us ever doing this, always had a fullback, unless Todman and Dixon played in the same backfield??

I feel like I remember Edsall talking about doing it back then, don't remember if we ever saw it. If we did it was rare
 
I've always liked Swenson. Been a little snake bitten with injuries but when he has played he's always been fast to close on ball carriers. Mitchell looks like a real good college LB. Fortt has always been steady if unspectacular. DJ Morgan was real solid in 19. That these 3 guys edged him out in my opinion is a positive development. Morgan will get plenty snaps still I'm sure. Hunter Webb looks the part but we've yet to see anything out of him.

The DL will be key. If they can be stout against the run AND generate some semblance of a pass rush, we could win more than 4 games.

The Offenses you face are gonna cause the LB (and S/H/dime/nicket) to be fluid. DJ does play solid and is a presence. But I suspect - all over - you see the 210-220 athletes on the field a lot. On the other hand ... some Depth charts you see are gonna have 4 'WR listed (and 8 on Depth) and I hope we are that deep

It wouldn’t surprise me against Fresno state

Also, not related to the two deep per se, but hearing Randy say the Darious Bush’s recovery is going week is great news. I expect him to play like a more physical Cam Ross (that’s no knock on Ross!) when up to full speed by end of the season.

uh oh... I'm still real excited about K Marion as a part of that WR as well... Hope we're giving opponents problems from that position all year long... and beyond....

First offensive snap from scrimmage I want JZ in shotgun and SK in the left slot. Put SK in motion, snap the ball the JZ. Have JZ do a handoff to SK, who runs it to the right, stops and throws a pass to JZ over in the left flat.

Who was the starting QB? JZ takes a snap and does a hand off but SK gets the pass attempt.

SK gets flattened by the DE...breaks collarbone, JZ gets annihilated by DB...snaps his ankle. Who is 3rd string? Thank goodness your not calling plays

More like thank goodness you're not calling plays.

Nevermind that, why will we still have the same PA guy afterwards?

Here it is. It it going to change 1000 times before the season is over? Probably.

Still, lets not let that stop us from Boneyardin' a bit.

who knew?? - Heights are displayed in the four-digit format used by the NFL. The first digit represents feet, the middle two digits represent inches, and the fourth digit represents eighths of an inch. For example, a height listing of 6024 would represent six-feet, two and four-eighths inches.

Since they are similar quarterbacks...I don't see the purpose of this. Let the starter get in a flow. I am not saying they should never play a second QB..,they need to get some work in. But as a strategy..I don't see why you alternate two similar quarterbacks.

Agreed. But it will likely be performance based and whether or not the O is moving the ball down the field.
