Hudspeth: UL must 'reevaluate' short-yardage plan

[axg8750]

Exactly! Bringing in Nixon does nothing for our offense, everyone knows what is coming.

The risk of throwing off the rhythm of the o-line and causing a false start or bad snap is much, MUCH greater than any advantage that is gained from inserting Nixon in as QB in the middle of a drive.

Harbaugh damn near won a national championship by running the ball and force feeding tight ends. TE is under utilized universally in college football. It has been said, over and over, we need to use the tight end position better. Especially if you're going to attempt to stretch the field horizontally with screens and swings. Keeping the linebackers worried about the middle of the field is a no brainer.

"Reevaluate" after a WIN, is a rare commodity.

4th and 1, should be under center...Don't understand UL not doing more of that...1 yard vs 3 or 4 out of the gun....4th (or 3rd) and 2, go with the gun.

Turn to that page, rip it out. Rip it up. Evaluation complete.

Even our victory formation is in the gun, so this will not happen.

How does having Nixon in there throw off the rhythm of the O-Line. Playcalling is coming from the sideline and he has nothing to do with their tempo and blocking schemes.

Sidelines call the play but they don't CALL the play.

Cadences matter.

Turbine please. That is a load of crap.

Turbine please. That is a load of crap.

Then why does the NFL have a rule stopping defensive players from mimicking the quarterback's cadence?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Turbine is dead right about this.

[ManAboutTown]

Turbine is right.

Here is my daily reminder to the staff to USE THE GOSH DAMN TIGHTENDS this weekend!

Carry on..
