You know one thing I'd love to see?  Do we have enough healthy tight ends to run a version of power or the ogre with tight ends in some spots as eligible receivers?  Or start in a tight formation, then split people out?  Something to make eyes have to leave #5 in the backfield and at least think about another ball-handler more often?

I'd love to see what McCaffrey could do running out of a spread formation, or even 4 wide.  Heck, even a standard XYZ formation. If his strongest attribute is change of direction and acceleration, I'd love to see what would happen if the other team was forced to defend him in a dime package for a few downs, instead of hoping that the other team will whiff on a tackle or two once he waits long enough for a crease to develop in the 15 or so players clogging the field inside the tackles.

Even if we just threw out of the wildcat or ogre once...  Or how about motioning Marx out of the backfield?

Hope it's more than a pipe dream,

VG
