Yes, I have seen them audible the tackles back in, or just go ahead and run the play with the split O Line across the field...It is very different....As I say, The Houston Oilers tried this thing about 45 years ago, but I never saw it work, and it was mostly just laughed at by the Monday Night Team of Howard and Don and Frank. ...If Bengals make it work, it will be the first time I've ever seen it work. ....It is indeed a change-up. Not a formation Bengals use that much in a game.
I do appreciate the feed back because even the TV announcers don't know what this thing is and offer little info on it. The Emory and Henry Formation, it has a name. Most TV announcers can't give you that info. If I ever see this thing work for a big play, unlike the old Oilers, I may have to do the Dr Frankenstien and yell at the TV, " It's Alive, It's Alive ".
