So they are using the "run and shoot?" (essentially??)
Just because you line up and throw the ball around, that makes it the run and shoot?
Some of the scheme knowledgable folks gotta weigh in on this. I think that this assumption is off the mark. The colts don't run the "run and shoot."
I do agree that Welker is huge and that we can't afford him getting hurt. But it is his yak that might be the biggest thing, (well, he gets open wonderfully too.) But, it is the whole package that makes it so.
To say that it won't work because of weather, or injuries (that he implies WILL occur since they happened in other Run and shoot examples) seems like the clutching at straws kinda thing.
Anyway, we will see. Randy grew up playing in semmi cold weather in Virginia. Bottom line is that Brady throws a very nice ball for these guys, and the o-line is doing great. He has time. The whole package is doing wonderfully. It is not just, "well the run and shoot has been beat, so it'll happen again. Next question." They are fool to think this way. But, there are a lot of fools so... we shall see.
