I heard from a source who has knowledge from someone close to the team that Orgeron has demanded Ensminger put the I-Formation back in the offense and run the option to the short side of the field.

He's also insisting on the toss dive.

Didn't realize either were "out" of the offense.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the I formation. I have no idea why people think there is.

If you would have just left off the short side option and toss dive part, you could have turned this into an 80-page thread easily. You got greedy, though.

I-Form is not bad if you have arse kicking lead blocking hammer head types. I think we could do that with Moreau and hopefully Carter. I wish Mouton would've stayed. I don't know how much power running we are gonna try this year though. It might be more finesse stuff. Moore, Jeter and Gordon were real good. They were criminally underrated. I remember watching Gordon or Jeter lineup on almost any Linebacker or Defensive end and literally stone or drive them back 2 and 3 yards. Boy, Gordon had a mean streak too

There are so many things you can do to keep the defense guessing too though that it doesn't always have to be straight smashmouth. I mean you can do 1, 2, or 2 receiver sets, twins, trips double tight ends, whatever.

Out of all of those you can run counters, misdirection, off tackle, draws, screens, swing passes, reverses, or WR screens. When you mix all of that up, it keeps the defense off balance because they can't use your formation or personnel to figure out what you're doing.

No surprise, my understanding we are a multiple look, tempo and pro-set formations ( west coast and power I formations)

People complain about it being stale, but the i is one of the most tried and true formations in football, and LSU had a lot of success with it under Miles.

Including, like if or not, big runs on the toss dive.

Just stirring the pot. You have NO named source so go away. I have seen a lot of big gains from the pistol to the short side. Of course, you probably don't recognize what the formation or the play is anyway so what do you care !

I’m not at liberty to name my sources. And I know what the I formation is. It’s a four wide set with the QB in the shot gun.

Nothing wrong with the I as long as you can complete passes out of it.
