But, IF we can use BOTH Bernard and Mixon and create mismatches in personnel where we get them isolated on a LB...I think it could be great.

When it works, we don't keep the ball on offense very long and when it doesn't work, the defense doesn't even have time to take their helmets off.

However, I do think Dalton is pretty adept at running it so I think it could be used every so often in every game. Keep the defense on their toes, etc.

Good points gentlemen, maybe if we used it here and there, it would work better.  We ran it a TON when Wyche was here, and the defense held up pretty well.  Right now, we have a pretty good rotation up front to keep guys fresher on defense.  It could work, so long as the o doesn't go three and out.  Also, the o can do its part by running the play clock down close to zero to run more game clock.  The advantage and the KEY is getting the matchups you want and exploiting them by not letting the opponent sub and gassing them at the same time.  Gotta execute though.
