I brought it up because I found it interesting, and wasn't covered in any other thread.

With all of these weapons, I don't see a reason to get the Rookie OT involved... maybe that's why I started this thread.






Complete side note here:

What is with the hostile attitudes on this board lately. We are 6-0 sitting pretty, but people still seem agitated. Is it the fear of the first loss, or the fear that this team is a fickle illusion? I just don't get what got everyone so hostile. I think it is the lack of Dalton threads, and people need to outlet their anger in some other way.

And it's definitely one of the reasons why I don't participate much anymore. While there are many members here I respect and enjoy their posts, it's not that good on some days with people taking shots at each other, or throwing fits because someone doesn't completely act in accord with their opinions etc. I'm hopeful this board continues to grow, but the 'noise' needs to tone down imho.

I personally enjoy the different views and even the back and forth, even though I don't regularly participate in that stuff. If we were all the same it'd be a very boring existence.

There's a new rule regarding eligible receivers and/or (il)legal formations, or maybe they're just trying to enforce the existing rules, either way, these plays are cause for concern thanks to the Pats last season. The point is though, that it's been mentioned that many times unbeknownst to the television audience, a Bengal Olineman has declared himself eligible on several plays.

I think the idea behind these plays are so Andy can identify defensive assignments a little better than normal. That's not to say he has trouble doing it in a traditional way as all of his teammates can't say enough about his football IQ. And I don't think it's the sole reason for these plays as the encompassing reasoning would be take take the defense outta their comfort zone, to which it's worked to a tee. But I do believe these formations and eligible receiver plays have benefited Andy more than we may understand.

Maybe I shoulda put that last paragraph in the thread discussing these formations, but like I said, I think they're compliments to each other, essentially.
