I'm all for it if it is effective and it may be some kind of break through by the offensive staff.

The first time there is a botched reception on the pitch, people will become skeptical ( i pray there will not be)

If it works it works and i under stand that. It just seems like the Risk > Benefit on a play designed to go up the middle or inside the tackle and guard.

Ridley ran it all last year and never mishandled it, and I've seen the same consistency this year.

Has anyone ever thought that on a handoff the running back can watch the hole develope, yet on the quick toss the running back, I would assume, must watch the toss into his hands which would make him take his eyes off of the hole?

Just playing devil's advocate here.

I'd say a messed up pitch might happen once this year. I don't see a qb doing a bad pitch on where he knows he's going with the ball.

The toss "works if you work it"...
Gets the ball to the RB quicker and allows him to more time to get a read on the seam. Perfect for 3rd and short and the hurry up.
