    • On the radio it sounded like that lined Bradshaw up at WR a lot.

      Was he in the slot, a wing back, or split out wide?

      They appeared to run the ball with him even when he was in the WR position. True?

      If so did they shift him back to RB or use him in motion and hand off.

      It also appeared, according to the radio, when he lined up at WR he drew double coverage, leaving Spann in single coverage. True?

    • They lined AB up in the slot 3 maybe 4 times. When you had Legursky making holes big enough for a MACK to drive through there wasn't much use for a passing game. Morris actually threw to AB once on a fade route close to the endzone, one of his imcompletes. Should have either been holding or pass interferece.

    • I believe what you are referencing is Bradshaw lining up to one side of Bernard instead of behind him.  Bernard would drop back in the shotgun formation with Bradshaw a couple of yards to one side or the other but about the same depth as the QB.  This facilitated the QB handing off the ball from the shotgun formation and allowing the RB to get to the hole quicker.  That may have come out as "split wide" by the radio announcer.

    I was pretty sure they said that. Did they run from that formation?

    No, I don't think.  They were all designed passes.  I think Bernard tucked one    and ran after the pass wasn't there.
