What happens if your #2 QB ends up being your best A-back?

I hope everyone will get used to me and come to realize I'm not here to cause any trouble, but as an interested supporter of PJ (& Coach Sewak), PJs system (yes it will work at this level and GT will prove it sooner rather than later), and the War on the YardPups (one of my favorite teams is whoever is playing them).

Thanks for posting and I hope you post often, especially during the football season as we engage in Monday morning coaching. I am not well versed in PJs system, so I will value what you have to contribute.

Your welcome, I had plans on being in Atlanta (Thurs) and Athens(SAT) the first weekend of the season but Uncle Sam has other plans for me and I will be enjoying this season from afar, but will check in from time to time. As I read your signature block, it is so true the older I get the better I was, as I prep for this deployment, it still feels like two a days, but I don't recover over night like I used to.
 
GSUNCSU, good to lhave you with us. Your reference to what I fondly call 'the Benning School for Boys' perked my ears up. Can you tell us more about yourself and the upcoming deployment?

So I didn't set a record... and no problem even if it was, I don't take the ribbing too seriously and welcome the conversation (Is it bad to be Kyle's friend?:laugher:). I do wish Tech much success this season. I think you guys will prove something that alot of us have thought for a long time, that the system with the right athletes can be successful and the system will allow student athletes to play the game at a high level. Good fit athletically and academically... IMO GT's pool to select its athletes has just got much larger (there are alot more 5'10-6'0" QBs out there with something to prove than 6'4" drop back NFL prototypes) and the speed of the 3-O is fun to watch. Coach Johnson also seems to make really good halftime adjustments.

Actually I am a Manufacturing Engineer working for Kodak in Columbus (and yes we do have a couple GT MEs here). It is my second career (22 years and counting) with the GA Army National Guard that has me deploying in support of the Global War on Terrorism, just in time to miss Football Season. ROTC payed the bills while I was in College and the Guard helped me pay for my Masters at NCSU (I was working in Sanford, NC at that time) ten years later. INF School still going strong here (I am an Engineer Officer, so most of my training has been at Ft. Belvoir and Fort Leonard Wood, MO), and is about to expand with BRAC and Maneuver Center moving in. I will have some connectivity so if I disappear for a while, I'll Be Back. Used up my electrons for now, but good luck this season and let's hope that Doggies regular season is bookended with "L"s.

The backup is always one play away from being the starter regardless of what offensive system is being used.

The point is that in PJ's system the likliehood of the back up getting PT is higher than other systems due to the fact that his QB is going to get hit a lot both carrying the ball and after the pitch or handoff.

Therefore the offensive system does matter, and matters a great deal.

PJ will use two or three, in the triple option the backup is one play away from being the starter. If said QB/A-Back is right handed he'll play the left slot.

Watched a Navy game in which PJ inserted the back up after halftime. Kaipo played the first half and was effective. He was not injured and the announcers wondered why PJ made the switch. They thought PJ was going for a set of fresh legs.

The back up came in and had a different style. I also noticed that the offense was reading a different defender. Halftime adjustment. Whatever PJ saw, it worked. The back up played the rest of the half and was effective.

I think PJ does what he thinks will win football games, and will get his best players on the field in some capacity.

Agreed and was basically my point, there will be teams (probably the ACC FLA schools and the Athens School for Wayward Mutts) that will assign someone to hit the QB every play regardless of who has the football.

FSU did that to Joe in 1998, and even held a press conference before the game, saying exactly that. They late hit him in the ribs on every play until we had to take him out, then won.

Free Shoes University would be one of usual suspects for such activity, I'm glad they got that idiot Amato back, they all deserve each other...

Also if they try it against this offense, that's one read the QB doesn't have to make and someone will be uncovered, slot or WR, depending on who has QB responsibility...
