It’s not supposed to be a system to follow for the duration of a whole point, but it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It positions each downfield cutter in a way that allows them to immediately improvise their cuts to initiate the flow, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411266245885628595.post-67887820298587196802007-11-09T08:38:00.000-05:002007-11-09T08:38:00.000-05:00Anon: Day 3 pt 2 involves "Monster KHAOS," a meet...Anon: Day 3 pt 2 involves "Monster KHAOS," a meeting of internet legends and The Beer Sling.

Good D players save a very select few are always out thinking the O guys who have been placed into an offensive system where they are told when to cut, where to cut, who to throw to etc. Its the creative, inventive cutters that are always more difficult to cover specifically because you can't out think them.

Apparently, football linemen are more often the intellectuals of the team, as opposed to QBs and WRs.
