re: FB in the slot? WTF?

think you've missed my point completely. i'm not questioning the play and i even stated, "it's the spring game, so i know that much of the play calling should be taken with a grain of salt, but do you think this is the sort of thing we can expect to see out of the cameron offense?" but thanks for nay-saying my post.

The play is obviously practiced by the team so it's in the playbook. However the QBs called their own plays in the spring game, so I can't tell you how often you will see it in a game.

my only concern is whether or not the FB matching up 5 yards off of a CB allows the CB to jump the route a little earlier and better, therefore being a bit more of a liability.

I don't see why this is a concern. The fullback in the slot can do more than just run a route.

the point i meant to make was that i can't remember ever seeing this before, rather than being critical of the play calling. has anyone else seen this done in a game?

Yes fullbacks have lined up in the slot before, sometimes the catch screen passes, sometimes they block, and sometimes they are an outlet.
