Wetjen In Space DOWNFIELD!?

That's a good point. You could clear 1/3rd of the field with what I would be presuming is one of the best athletes in the D-back field and take him out of the play. Decoy Y receiver I guess with a chance at some touches.

I've always thought it would be smart to line up in the absolute most bonkers formation possible twice a half, preferably in the red zone just to get teams to burn two of their timeouts. I'm talking a 3 man o-line, Punter at center, Dunker sized guy at qb with 2 o-lineman next to him as backs, and 4 wideouts all lined up shoulder to shoulder on the far sideline with a long snapper behind them like a screen. I'm talking whacked-out-on LSD, weird.

If you're in the red zone and any DC sees something stupid like that they'll instantly call timeout just as a reflex. If they don't you snap the ball to Dunker and let him get 6 yards like The Fridge used to.

Alabama threw a pass to Proctologist the other night, why not?

Other teams would obviously catch on after a couple go-rounds, but if I was Tim Lester and desperately needed the other team to burn timeouts for some reason I'd have about three of those plays in my wallet at all times.

My opinion is line him up and send him deep 4-5 times a half. You don't have to throw to him but the opposition is damn sure going to notice when he's out there and its one less defender to worry about whether he's a target or a merely a distraction.

This is the problem. We make the defense's job easy for them by not challenging over the top. You have to do that periodically.
