re: It's not the OFFENSIVE CO-ORDINATOR

Get over it everyone. we're on our 3rd or 4th if you count the year we had co-offensive Coordinators. And we are still running the SAME toss dive between the tackles. Get over it! It's not the OC.

I hate people using the toss dive as THE example when talking about the offense. It's actually an awesome play. Custom built for a Fournette, Michael Ford, Guice, etc.

The problem is we run it out of almost the same formation with no misdirection or setup. THAT should be the example.

Well... we do, or the RB does, some misdirection. They don't always follow the FB. Which if you're a RB and figured out the LB's have been told to engage the FB in the hole and that's your key, it can work out well if there's no real good backside disruption/pursuit (which if your tackles are being beat, like at Bama, there is). One less blocker, but one less tackler. Hit the gap quick enough (the objective of the play- hit gap quick but with room/vision to change) and you're potentially at the second level before a safety or other LB can get close.

But I digress... if that's the only deception the S is all over it if he's not worrying about pass. Maybe sneak a TE (or the FB actually) behind the crashing LBs or creeping S every now and then.
