Three point stance would kill a WR if a DB was playing press... all he has to do is hit down on shoulder pads and you can head first sliding into the turf. They are upright in case they get jammed. A WR eating grass one yard past the LoS won't catch many passes. He is in a VERY poor football position.
DLmen are different... OLs are moving back to form a pocket or firing forward to lock them up or going for the legs. DLmen are also much stronger and can more easily fend off a move that would render a WR picking grass from his teeth. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --------------------------------- I've never been know as being quick or fast (except for the time when - oh wait - this is a family show) but it seems to me that you could get a better push off if you were in a three point stance like the track runners start in. Seems like standing - the way WRs usually do would be second and running in place - the worst - because you have to wait till your foot is down and then push off. I believe it may have been a new wrinkle because I recall Demps doing the same thing. --- On Mon, 11/17/08, Gatornet Admin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've never noticed it before, but I saw Harvin running in place prior to the snap during the SC game. I guess that is allowed since he was never flagged for it, but that might explain his "quickest first step" mentioned by Randy below.

Damn, these guys a playing really really well right now, but this is no time to get the big head, stay focused on the prize. Next up the Citadel, to quote B A Barracus of the A-Team “I pity the fools”, hopefully the starters can be in street clothes by halftime.
