Dariusz Michalszewski's place in history

[Biledriver]

I feel that, its actually my biggest concern with sports in general. We're reaching a Nash equilibrium where everyone has figured out the best way to do things- everyone knows it and does it anyways. Its even worse in the NBA where everyone runs the same offensive set 80% of the time.

I will say that teams discovering running QBs are a viable option has changed things at the NFL level.

There's a certain irony: Those teams with the running QBs are playing something that superficially resembles the old single wing from the 1940s; just without the between the tackles plunges from the fullback and the slow developing outside runs from the tailback (QB) or the wingback. Not many direct snaps to the other backs, either.

Yeah, its the whole nothing is ever new-just recycled. I feel like a lot of what they run is very similar to the veer offenses you used to see in the south during the 60s and 70s (just with a play side bubble or slant as opposed to an extra TE blocking).

Yeah, when I was in high school (mid-1980s) one of the other schools ran the veer out of 2 TE 1 WR set. The most interesting team ran a wing-t that was damn near unstoppable of the ground.

I never played American Football but my high school ran the old single-wing, with an unbalanced line, blocking back, wing back, tail back (QB), and full back.

It was disastrous. It was the same set-up Sammy Braw ran against the Bears' T Formation in 1941, losing 73-0.

So rose the T, and the end of the single wing was signaled.

Except in my little town in the early 1970s.

It did not work. Plays developed too slowly.

73-0 was 1940. Then Baugh and the Redskins beat the Bears for the title in 1942.....while still running the single wing. The problem against the Bears in 1940 was 8 interceptions (including 3 pick-6s). I personally think when they got down 21-0 in the first, the Redskins just mailed it in from there. 5 of those picks were thrown by backup Frankie Filchock.

The Steelers actually played the single wing until 1952, the last team to adopt the T.

There are a lot of small high schools throughout that still run the single wing with some success. Wouldn't be the best system to run in the pros consistently, but its basically what the Wildcat was that was all the rage a decade or so ago.

Happens every play in the NFL, where receivers act like they're mugged trying to draw a pass interference call. It's been a part of American football since the day pass interference calls hit the rule book. Apparently you also missed 7-foot-tall NBA players flopping around trying to draw a foul.....every game.

Thanks for playing, Junior

I wasn’t replying to you. Not everything is about you all the time, narcissist.

I was responding to the post about fans stuffing their mouths with chips and beer and noting that soccer fans also stuff their mouths with beer. As well as engage in hooliganism and throwing bananas at black players.

Maybe you shouldn’t run your cum dumpster about things you don’t know jack about. STFU and run along, Little Boi: The adults are talking and it’s way past your bedtime, Poppet.

Keep a civil tone or you'll get banned for good.

Oh, but you claimed you didn't have banning power. Interesting. Perhaps you might try policing people who act like as sholes and pick unnecessary fights instead of the people who fight back.
