Alright, I'm getting ready to hit the road for T-Town, but I wanted ask y'all a question before I get out of town. I've been reading a lot this week about the Single Wing/"Wild Rebel/Hog/Dolphin/you fill in the blank" formation and here is my question:
Why does it seem like it is so much more effective than regular running plays where the QB gets the ball and hands it off to the ball carrier? Is it the change in tempo that throws defenses off?
I mean, obvioulsy McFadden was/is a beast and would do well in any formation, but they ran it for so many big plays at Arky. And now the Dolphins with Ronny Brown scoring 4 TDs in one game from the formation and Ole Miss using it against UF and surely against us this weekend.
Can some of you X's and O's guys fill me in on this?
