you're absolutely correct. in fact, it's such a no-brainer, we should line an FB up in the slot for every package. you should be on the coaching staff, for sure. thanks for the in-depth analysis and clarification

Chill out dude, and pull your panties out of your arse.

It's not unheard of for a FB to shift out to the slot. I have never heard anyone worried that a cb or safety could jump a FB's route. They can jump any route, it's not like the FB is running deep outs or post corners.

If you shift a fullback out to the slot and a LB goes out there with them then you know they are probably in man.

If a corner or safety decide to cover a FB in the slot, you shouldn't be worried about them "jumping the route" because that probably means a linebacker is covering a RB or TE or the wide receiver has straight up man on the outside.

So tell me again what's wrong with a FB shifting out to the slot and why are CB/S so much more adept at "jumping routes" when covering them?

my panties shall remain in my arse. (i'm afraid you took my response more seriously than i did. sorry about that, but you should cut down on some of the condescension, which you continue even into the response i'm now addressing.)

yes, i've seen FBs shift into the slot, but i can't remember seeing them line up there immediately after breaking the huddle. that's a lot less common, wouldn't you agree?

your points about the LB or S being the first to cover the FB are well received, though.

thanks for being a bro and not responding to the thread as if i was a blind, autistic 8 year-old who'd never seen a CFB game.
did copeland line up there from the huddle on 1/9/2012?
