re: FB in the slot? WTF?

i 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.

and i'm fully aware that our FB has caught some passes out of the backfield. but being lined up on the line of scrimmage in the slot and catching a pass out of the backfield are two completely different things. 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.

mcneil912, i agree that this on this may, indeed, be the result of splitting up the WRs between two teams.

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? i watched a small amount of the ravens games last year and don't recall seeing this formation used there or in the rest of the NFL or in CFB.

Haydel, thanks for that input. interesting info.
