Just throwing this one out there for discussion. We've seen "1a-1b" defense. Though not many were happy with the outcome, and acknowledging that our offense, as is, is very productive, might it not be interesting if we had a complete Flexbone offense made up of 2nd-stringers?

One would think our 2nd-string athletes wouldn't be taking a back-seat athletically to GT quality linemen. Our backs & WR's are better, and we've got a QB riding the pine who could thrive, I believe.

I would imagine, from a coaching perspective, this might be an insane idea, likely taking away precious time getting the 1st unit ready each week. But imagine how much trouble we could give opposing defenses if, in any given game we could roll out an effective Flexbone offense for a few series. Imagine what toll it would take on other teams having to prep for us.

It's already acknowledged that prepping for the Flexbone in just a week is really difficult, and takes time. How would a defense prep for the possibility of it AND prepare to face Dak & Co.?

To clarify, I'm not talking about throwing some Diamond formation into our scheme, rather literally having an entire unit working on it as their primary role.

For the fun of it, let's project who could be on that unit that won't likely be a starter. Who is the QB? Who are the 2 A-backs? The B-back? The 2 WR's? The Center? 2 Guards? 2 Tackles?

How would you like to be the DC who would have to get ready in 1 week to face a team like that?
