Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Cal v. Washington State 10.24.09 Pregame and First Quarter Thread

Use this thread to discuss all the pregame and first quarter action against WSU.  The game isn't on TV, so we'll be relying upon Joe Starkey (link to radio broadcast exclamation point exclamation point) to tell us what is happening. For those who don't want Starkey, this should hopefully work too. It'll take a village to follow this game, so let's get crackin!  And don't forget to vote in the CGB Insta-poll.

someone explain if i'm misunderstanding things

…but isn’t the point of the wildbear, or wildcat, or whatever, that you’re snapping it to a player who is a big threat to run OR pass?

so don’t you have to mix in a pass attempt out of that formation? otherwise it’s just a direct snap to a running back, which is an obvious running play.

by atomsareenough on Oct 24, 2009 1:53 PM PDT reply actions  

Extra blocker

by atomsareenough on Oct 24, 2009 2:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

It isn’t, really, it’s just that there’s supposedly the element of surprise from being able to hand off on endarounds and the like. It’s not really all that revolutionary, and the Dolphins would be the first to say that.
